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

     with open('/home/collier/pytest/__sort.TXT') as file:

Shouldn't that be:

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

I'm tempted to say "HINT #5: don't provide a solution without testing it first" but that would be pretty obnoxious.
I tried Joshua's suggestion in Python3.3 and it worked. What version of Python are you using?
