I can do this:

>>> x = (3,2,1)
>>> x = tuple(sorted(list(x)))

Which, although senseless, effectively sorts the x tuple. But, you are
right, I am not really sorting the tuple, I'm sorting a list, which
has been made from the tuple, then changing it back to a tuple.

Actually, I can even do it in one line:

x = tuple(sorted(list((3,2,1))))
