I often do sorts in Python using lambda expressions, and although it works fine, I find it not very readable, and was hoping there might be a better way. Here is a typical use case for me. I have a list of numbers, e.g., x = [12, 101, 4, 56, ...] I have a separate list of indices: y = range(len(x)) I want to sort y based on the value...
So, I'm using the asmSelect plugin to create lists, but also trying to use it to edit existing lists. asmSelect allows you to manually sort/arrange the selected options before submitting.

Recently when I was working with JavaScript "sort()" function, I found in one of the tutorials that this function does not sort the numbers properly. Instead to sort numbers, a function must be added that compares numbers, like the following code:- <script type="text/javascript"> function sortNumber(a,b) { return a - b; } var n = [...
I know that this sounds trivial but I did not realize that the sort() function of Python was weird. I have a list of "numbers" that are actually in string form, so I first convert them to ints, then attempt a sort. list1=["1","10","3","22","23","4","2","200"] for item in list1: item=int(item) list1.sort() print list1 Gives me: ...
I recently spoke to someone, who works for Amazon and he asked me: How would I go about sorting terabytes of data using a programming language?
