Question

I have a list of class instances –

x = [<iteminstance1>,...]

among other attributes the class has score attribute. How can I sort the items in ascending order based on this parameter?

EDIT: The list in python has something called sort. Could I use this here? How do I direct this function to use my score attribute?

Answer 1

import operator
sorted_x = sorted(x, key=operator.attrgetter('score'))

if you want to sort x in-place, you can also:

x.sort(key=operator.attrgetter('score'))
