how do I sort the following nested list, I want to sort it by number:

highscorelist = [["erik", 2],["oskar", 5], ["markus", 3],["peter", 1]]

I want the list it to look like this:

sorted_highscorelist= [["peter", 1],["erik", 2],["markus", 3],["oskar", 5]]

CodePudding user response：

You can use a lambda function for this:

sorted(highscorelist, key = lambda x: x[1])

You can sort it using the sorted method, and a lambda function.

Example:

highscorelist = [["erik", 2],["oskar", 5], ["markus", 3],["peter", 1]]
sorted_highscorelist = sorted(highscorelist, key=lambda x: x[1])
