sorted <- sort_vars(iris,
    vars = c("Sepal.Width", "Sepal.Length"),
    asc = c(TRUE, FALSE)
)
cat(code(sorted))
#> iris |> dplyr::arrange(Sepal.Width, desc(Sepal.Length))
head(sorted)
#>   Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width    Species
#> 1          5.0         2.0          3.5         1.0 versicolor
