thanks for the reply, i think i have it now, perhaps it could be done better


I think I'd use a helper function to sort:

def sortOtherToEnd(val):
  if val['name'] == 'other:
    return 'zzzz'
  return val['name']

#then sort it

topics.sort(key=sortOtherToEnd)

But, generally, I'd stop once I got it going without worrying too much about 'better' ways -- that's a subjective measure. There is often one obvious way to do it, but unless you've seen that way before, there'll often be many alternatives that work as well.

HTH,

Emile
