Example 1: python sort list in reverse
list.sort(reverse=True)
sorted(list, reverse=True)
Example 2: python 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 3: sorted list python
sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False)
type(sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False)) = list
Example 4: list sort by key python
>>> 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 5: python sort comparator
sorted("This is a test string from Andrew".split(), key=str.lower)
['a', 'Andrew', 'from', 'is', 'string', 'test', 'This']
sorted(student_tuples, key=lambda student: student[2])
[('dave', 'B', 10), ('jane', 'B', 12), ('john', 'A', 15)]
Example 6: sorted python
var = sorted(old_var)
