To me, this is not as readable as:

orderly = sorted(disorderly, key=getscore) given:
    def getscore(item):
        return item.score

Also, the related following is a good argument IMHO to allow expression statements before "given"

mylist.sort(key=getscore) given:
    def getscore(item):
        return item.score

If they were disallowed, I bet we would get "idioms" like:

_ = mylist.sort(key=getscore) given:
    def getscore(item):
        return item.score
