Question

I am trying to sort the options in a select list alphabetically using Jinja filters. the problem I am having is the list has mixed case values and it is not coming out alphabetically. I would still like to continue using the jinja filter wondering if anyway to make it compare by lower case or something.

The list in its current form

• All Source Types
• Android Market
• Facebook
• Forums
• RSS Feeds
• Twitter
• YouTube
• iTunes

Jinja Code

{% for source,number in sources.items()|sort %}
        <option {% if number == user.postfiltertype %} selected {% endif %} value='{{ number }}'>{{ source }}</option>
{% endfor %}

Input

[('iTunes', 8), ('RSS Feeds', 2), ('Twitter Incoming', 9), ('Facebook', 4), ('Android Market', 10), ('All Source Types', 0), ('YouTube', 5), ('Twitter', 3), ('Forums', 1)] 

Answer 1

You can add the following after |sort :

(case_sensitive=False)

So you get:

{% for source,number in sources.items()|sort(case_sensitive=False) %}
