Great. len is a function though. Why use a second layer of function when len is a function in itself?LOL :-) Oooh, that's nice! OK, instead of wasting a post in admiration, how about something else that is a possibility since sort() is stable:
['d', 'bee', 'sea']l = ['d','sea','bee'] l.sort(key=len) l
### >>> l = ['d','sea','bee'] >>> l.sort() #get them in lexical order >>> l ['bee', 'd', 'sea'] >>> l.sort(key=len) #now get similar lengths together >>> l ['d', 'bee', 'sea'] >>> ###
