Example 1: sorted python lambda
lst = [('candy','30','100'), ('apple','10','200'), ('baby','20','300')]
lst.sort(key=lambda x:x[1])
print(lst)
Example 2: python sort list
vowels = ['e', 'a', 'u', 'o', 'i']
vowels.sort()
sortedVowels = sorted(vowels)
Example 3: 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 4: sorted vs sort python
list = [4,8,2,1]
list.sort()
list = [4,8,2,1]
new_list = list.sorted()
Example 5: sorted list python
sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False)
type(sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False)) = list
Example 6: python sort list in place
your_list.sort()
your_list = [42, 17, 23, 111]
your_list.sort()
print(your_list)
--> [17, 23, 42, 111]
your_list = ['42', '17', '23', '111']
your_list.sort(key=int)
print(your_list)
--> ['17', '23', '42', '111']
your_list =['cmd1','cmd10', 'cmd111', 'cmd50', 'cmd99']
your_list.sort(key=lambda x: int(x[3:]))
print(your_list)
--> ['cmd1', 'cmd10', 'cmd50', 'cmd99', 'cmd111']
your_list = [42, 17, 23, 111]
your_list_sorted = sorted(your_list)
print(your_list_sorted)
--> [17, 23, 42, 111]
