I have successfully used the sort lambda construct described in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-April/377443.html. However, how do I take it one step further such that some values can be sorted ascending and others descending? Easy enough if the sort values are numeric (just negate the value), but what about text?
Is the only option to define an external sorting function to loop through the list and perform the comparisons one value at a time? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
