Just else more elseifs...

     if  firstkey1 < firstkey2;
        return -1;
     elseif firstkey1 > firstkey2;
        return 1;
     elseif secondkey1 < secondkey2;
        return -1;
     elseif secondkey1 > secondkey2;
        return 1;
     elseif thirdkey1 < thirdkey2;
        return -1
     elseif thirdkey1 > thirdkey2;
        return 1;
... and so on for as many keys as you like ...
     else;
        return 0;
     endif;
