It won't indeed, because of 3 things: 1. you're trying to sort a tuple. Tuples don't have a sort() method, use a list instead 2. sort doesn't return! (well, it returns None in a way.) It's a thing that has caught me once too often. You'll need to do the sorting before using the sorted list again 3. you cannot insert a list (or tuple) as argument to a function and expect it to be automatically expanded to several arguments. Use the '*' in front of the list to expand (tuple won't work). So what should work is: args = [var1, var2, var3] args.sort() objSprites = pygame.sprite.OrderedUpdates(*args) It's a few more lines, but that's the way it works. Hope that that helps.
