How to use sort method for sorting list in Python??

Question

Python

Answer 1

In the simplest way, it can be used as

myList.sort()
With no parameters. It'll by default sort the list in the ascending order.
To sort in descending order, you need to make its reverse parameter as True.
myList.sort(reverse=True)

It can also take a functional parameter called key which can be a function and it'll pass each element of the list into that function and will sort the list based on what is returned by that key function.

To sort a list of strings acc. to their length,
myList.sort(key= len)

Similarly key can be any other function as well.
