Dear All,
I am new to Python. I am in need of
some sorting functions (eg) numerical sorting
functions and alphapetical sorting functions. I have searched through net But I cannot
find any regarding this so If anyone know
regarding this. Kindly mail me as early as possible
with regards PRabahr
Hi PRabahr,
>>> some_references = [ "<http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html> (look for 'cmp')", "<http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-mutable.html> (read fn 8)", "<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python?kwd=Searching>", "<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52234> ] >>> some_references.sort() >>> for r in some_references: print r

If you want to implement a specific sorting routine, the two dominant ways are to either use the decorate-sort-undecorate idiom or define a custom cmp function. Both are discussed in the links above.
