I have a list of lists (a grid table) that can have about 15000 - 20000 "rows" and 10 "cols", so:
1 [ [ 'aaa', 'vv', 'cc', 23, ... ], 2 [ 'aav', 'vv', 'cc', 45, ... ], ... 15000 [ 'sad', 'ad', 'es', 123, ... ], ] I need to sort this list, but I need to specify two things: the "column" and its type (string or int), so for example in this list, I want to sort the fourth column that has int values. The type because that I want that 1, 2, 12 will be sort in this order, not 1, 12, 2 like strings. I have already tried to modify some code found on aspn, but the results are always too slow for me, about 30-40 sec. Can someone has some code or some point where can I start for speedup my code?
