Just hacked this up on a whim:


function L(c)
     return assert(loadstring(
         "local args={...}; return " .. c:gsub('%$(%d+)', 'args[%1]')
     ))
end

local t={'bananas', 'watermelons', 'pears', 'grapes'}
table.sort(t, L"$1 > $2")
for k,v in pairs(t) do print(k,v) end
Traditionally[1], the function is called `fn` and uses P1-P9 for parameters and L1-L9 for upvalues. 



Maybe it's not the most elegant (hope your function never uses a $ in a
string) but I thought it was a neat little hack and a bit nicer looking
than:
table.sort(t, function(a, b) return a > b end)
