<div>I brought this up with Kent a little while ago...</div> <div> </div> <div>>>>If you have a list of pairs of (name, percentage) then you should be <BR>>>>able to sort it directly with the sort() method of the list. For<BR> >>>example:<BR><BR>>>>In [3]: data = [ ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80), ('Fred', 20) ]<BR>>>>In [4]: data.sort()<BR>>>>In [5]: data<BR>>>>Out[5]: [('Fred', 20), ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80)]<BR>>Use append() to add more data, then sort again to get it in order:<BR>>>>In [6]: data.append(('Joe', 90))<BR>>>>In [7]: data.sort()<BR>>>>In [8]: data<BR>>>>Out[8]: [('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 90), ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80)]<BR></div> <div>What happens if I need to sort alphabetical and numerically?</div> <div>I guess in this case it would be....</div> <div> </div> <div>('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 50), ('Kent', 80), ('Sara', 90)</div> <div> </div>
<div>I'm taking the original list and the original values</div> <div>i.e., ('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 90), ('Kent', 80)... and switching it so that it reads in both ways...</div> <div> </div> <div>List 1, [('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 90), ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80)]<BR></div> <div>List 2, ('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 50), ('Kent', 80), ('Sara', 90)]</div> <div> </div> <div>How would I do that so I wind up with both lists? I have two lists now, but if I try and reorder them they just reverse in alphabetical order without affecting the second value (the number).</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks!</div> <div> </div><p>
