[BangPypers] Sort names in a list by order of importance

[S Pratap Singh]

Yeah this is what i thought but this sorting needs to be done using the
Initial name not the first name of persons ..I am getting little confused
and I am very new to python and worked on python almost 3 years back so
finding problem with striping and sorting ..
