sorted() does not modify the list, but returns a sorted version of the
list for me on Python 2.7
my_sorted_list = sorted(ordered_keys)
This will alphabetize all of the words, regardless of frequency.

Sorry.
I meant for example:
list1 = [1,2,3]
list2 = [3,4,5]
newList = list1 + list2
versus
for x in list2:
list1.append(x)
Which is the preferred way to add elements from one list to another?
