Python3: Using sorted(key=...)

[Johannes Bauer]

Hello list,

I'm having trouble with a incredibly simple sort of a list containing
ints and tuples:

def myorder(x):
	if type(x) == int:
		return x
	else:
		return x[0]

odata = sorted([ (a, b) for (a, b) in data["description"].items() ],
key=myorder)

still says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./genproto.py", line 81, in <module>
    odata = sorted([ (a, b) for (a, b) in data["description"].items() ],
key=myorder)
TypeError: unorderable types: tuple() < int()

Why is that? Am I missing something very obvious?

Kind regards,
Johannes
