thanks for the reply. i should have been more specific in my question ;)
the order in which 'other' is listed is not always the last item of
the list as it is dependent on where in the CSV file it is included.
what i was trying to do is to take create the list of dictionary items
and then find
thanks for the reply, i think i have it now, perhaps it could be done better

I think I'd use a helper function to sort:

The only obvious redundancy is the duplicated sort of options just

list after all the items have been sorted?
here is the code which returns this list:
