Input parameters:

This function is used to compare two item lines, for the purpose of sorting.
Each input item (a or b) is a table with:

    line = the item line (e.g. "Mask of the Rose (Persuasive +1)")

The function compares each of the input items' sorting key array elements,
one by one. So, for example, if one item's highest quality is +10, and the
other's highest quality is +9, the first item will be sorted first. If both
have the same level for their highest quality, the second highest quality is
and so on. If the lists of effect levels for both items are identical, they
are sorted according to the item's name.
