Hi all!

When I range through `.Resources` like this, the images are automatically ordered alphabetically:

```auto
{{ range $image := (.Page.Resources.ByType "image") }}

```

Yet, when I sort by a year param (some image have the same `year` param, e.g. “2020”) the secondary sorting is not alphabetically but seems arbitrary:

```auto
{{ range $image := sort (.Page.Resources.ByType "image") ".Params.year" "desc" }}

```

- 2020 b
- 2020 a
- 2020 c

Unfortunately it does not seem seems to be possibly nest the sorting like this:

```auto
{{ range $image := sort (sort (.Page.Resources.ByType "image") ".Name") ".Params.year" "desc" }}

```

and `.ByParam` does not work with Page Resources.

Does anyone have an idea how to use nested sorting for page resouces?

It is trivial to do a quick `git clone` on your repo, then run `hugo server` in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.
