How to sort the list in python?

The sort() function sorts the items of the list, by default in increasing order. This is done “in place”, i.e., it does not create a new list.

It is used in the following syntax:-

list.sort()

e.g.,

t1=['1', '4', '2', '6']
t1.sort()
print(t1)

output- ['1', '2', '4','6']

Like reverse(), sort() also performs its function and does not return anything.

To sort a list in decreasing order using sort(), we can use:-

list.sort(reverse=True)

t1=['1', '4', '2', '6']
t1.sort(reverse=True)
print(t1)

output=['6', '4', '2', '1']

Sort() has two parameters:-

t1=['python', 'blog', 'pythonpoint', 'Cpython']
t1.sort(key=len)
print(t1)

output-['blog', 'python', 'Cpython', 'pythonpoint']

This is all about sorting a list.
