which sort does python use code example

Example 1: python sort list

# sort() will change the original list into a sorted list
vowels = ['e', 'a', 'u', 'o', 'i']
vowels.sort()
# Output:
# ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']

# sorted() will sort the list and return it while keeping the original
sortedVowels = sorted(vowels)
# Output:
# ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']

Example 2: sort python

>>> x = [1 ,11, 2, 3]
>>> y = sorted(x)
>>> x
[1, 11, 2, 3]
>>> y
[1, 2, 3, 11]
