Especially as the correct > form is giving me the wrong results? Why do you say that 'key=lambda x: x.name.lower' is the correct form?

Surely you want to sort on the *result* of that function, which is what your second print does. -- John Gordon Imagine what it must be like for a real medical doctor to gor...@panix.com watch 'House', or a real serial killer to watch 'Dexter'. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
