Hi Tom,
Not directly, but it's actually not too difficult to get this working.
Python's sort() function can take in an optional "comparison" function, so
we can do something lik
A more direct approach is to write a helper function that extracts the desired
data from a field,
and use that as the sort key:
hostnames = '''sys01-xxx-austin-tx
sys02-xxx-austin-tx
sys01-xxx-newark-oh
sys01-yyy-newark-oh
sys01-yyy-austin-tx
sys01-zzz-newark-oh
sys02-zzz-newark-oh'''.split()

Interesting! Thank you!

Python's sort doesn't
know how to find fields but

Thanks!
