Question

I have the following tuple, which contains tuples:

MY_TUPLE = (     ('A','Apple'),     ('C','Carrot'),     ('B','Banana'), ) 

I’d like to sort this tuple based upon the second value contained in inner-tuples (i.e., sort Apple, Carrot, Banana rather than A, B, C).

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

from operator import itemgetter  MY_SORTED_TUPLE = tuple(sorted(MY_TUPLE, key=itemgetter(1))) 

or without itemgetter:

MY_SORTED_TUPLE = tuple(sorted(MY_TUPLE, key=lambda item: item[1]))
