Example 1: python lambda key sort
>>> student_tuples = [
... ('john', 'A', 15),
... ('jane', 'B', 12),
... ('dave', 'B', 10),
... ]
>>> sorted(student_tuples, key=lambda student: student[2])
[('dave', 'B', 10), ('jane', 'B', 12), ('john', 'A', 15)]
Example 2: python sort list with lambda key
>>> student_tuples = [
... ('john', 'A', 15),
... ('jane', 'B', 12),
... ('dave', 'B', 10),
... ]
>>> sorted(student_tuples, key=lambda student: student[2])
[('dave', 'B', 10), ('jane', 'B', 12), ('john', 'A', 15)]
data = [("Apples", 5, "20"), ("Pears", 1, "5"), ("Oranges", 6, "10")]
data.sort(key=lambda x:x[0])
print(data)
OUTPUT
[('Apples', 5, '20'), ('Oranges', 6, '10'), ('Pears', 1, '5')]
