[Tutor] Sorting by numbers

[Jonas Melian]

:( I get
 >>> modes
[['85', '640x480'], ['85', '800x600'], ['85', '1024x768'], ['85', 
'1280x1024'], ['70', '1600x1200'], ['60', '1920x1440']]
please help!

>Solution:
>modes.sort(key=lambda item: int(item[1].split('x')[0])) # 2.4
>modes.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(int(x[1].split('x')[0]), 
>int(y[1].split('x')[0]))) #2.3.5
