Sorting integer and string lists in python

sorting lists in python can be accomplished using built-in functions and methods that make it simple and efficient. below is a comprehensive tutorial on how to sort both integer and string lists in python.

### sorting integer lists

#### 1. using the `sort()` method
the `sort()` method sorts a list in place. this means that it modifies the original list and does not return a new list.

**example:**

#### 2. using the `sorted()` function
the `sorted()` function returns a new sorted list from the elements of any iterable (like lists, tuples).

**example:**

#### 3. sorting in descending order
both the `sort()` method and the `sorted()` function accept an optional `reverse` parameter that can be set to `true` to sort in descending order.

**example using `sort()`:**

**example using `sorted()`:**

### sorting string lists

#### 1. using the `sort()` method
similarly, you can sort lists of strings using the `sort()` method.

**example:**

#### 2. using the `sorted()` function
you can also create a new sorted list of strings using the `sorted()` function.

**example:**

#### 3. sorting in descending order
you can sort strings in descending order using both methods as well.

**example using `sort()`:**

**example using `sorted()`:**

### sorting with custom criteria

you can also sort lists using a custom key by passing a function to the `key` parameter.

**example: sorting by length of strings**

### conclusion

sorting lists in python is straightforward thanks to the built-in `sort()` method and `sorted()` function. you can easily sort lists of integers or strings in both ascending and descending order, and customize the sorting behavior with the `key` parameter. this makes python a powerful tool for handling data and performing operations like sorting efficiently.
