Suppose I have a list of dictionaries and each dict has a common keyname 
with a (sortable) value in it.

How can I shuffle their position in the list in such way that they 
become sorted.


  In Python 2.4,
    import operator
    L.sort(key=operator.itemgetter(key))
  In Python 2.3,
    L2 = [(d[key], i, d) for (i, d) in enumerate(L)]
    L2.sort()
    L = [d for (v, i, d) in L2]

the 2.3 version seems to work quite nicely! thanks. Using the 2.3 for 
version compatibility. Thanks!
