Sorting a mixed array of hashes and strings

What is the syntax for sorting an array alphabetically by the key of a hash or by a string? I would like to sort the following:

['bob', 'apple', 'sandwich', {'lasagne' => 'munch'}, 'tangoed']

to give the following:

['apple', 'bob', {'lasagne' => 'munch'}, 'sandwich', 'tangoed']

Not clear what to do when a hash includes more than one key. Considering always the first key in a hash:

['bob', 'apple', 'sandwich', {'lasagne' => 'munch'}, 'tangoed']
.sort_by{|e| [*e].flatten.first}
#=> ["apple", "bob", {"lasagne"=>"munch"}, "sandwich", "tangoed"]
