All, How best to go about this? >>
I have a list containing strings referring to months, like ["x_apr", "x_jul", "x_jan", "x_aug", "x_may", etc] -- always using the 3-chars for month. The list will contain all 12 months, however the starting month may not necessarily be jan. I want to order the list chronologically, but starting with the user-defined starting month. So a list could be [x_aug, x_sep, .... x_jul]. The list might just start off in any random order, but I need to ensure, in the end, that the list is in chronological order and starting with the proper month per user needs. Anyone have any good ideas? I was curious to see what people came up with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
