python - Sort strings by the first N characters

I have a text file with lines like this:

2010-02-18 11:46:46.1287 bla
2010-02-18 11:46:46.1333 foo
2010-02-18 11:46:46.1333 bar
2010-02-18 11:46:46.1467 bla

A simple sort would swap lines 2 and 3 (bar comes before foo), but I would like to keep lines (that have the same date/time) in their original order.

How can I do this in Python?

sorted(array, key=lambda x:x[:24])

Example:

>>> a = ["wxyz", "abce", "abcd", "bcde"]
>>> sorted(a)
['abcd', 'abce', 'bcde', 'wxyz']
>>> sorted(a, key=lambda x:x[:3])
['abce', 'abcd', 'bcde', 'wxyz']
