Because it's bad to open files without a with unless you know what
you're doing, use a with:

Shouldn't that be:

     with open('/home/collier/pytest/__sort.TXT') as file:
         data = file.readlines()
         sorted(data, key=str.casefold, reverse=True)

Hmm, I take that back entirely. Your version does work. Weirdly, I tried yours under both 2.7 & 3.2 without it working at all, but a subsequent attempt did. Sorry for the noise.
