Method #2 : Using insert() + pop() This functionality can also be achieved using the inbuilt functions of python viz. insert() and pop() . The pop function returns the last element and that is inserted at front using the insert function.
Use the Python List sort() method to sort a list in place. The sort() method sorts the string elements in alphabetical order and sorts the numeric elements from smallest to largest. Use the sort(reverse=True) to reverse the default sort order.
If you want to create a new sorted list without modifying the original one, you should use the sorted function instead. As you can notice, both sort and sorted sort items in an ascending order by default.
Python provides two list methods to rearrange the order of the elements. Both methods mutate (change) the original list.
You can do it like this
mylist = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
myorder = [3, 2, 0, 1, 4]
mylist = [mylist[i] for i in myorder]
print(mylist) # prints: ['d', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'e']
>>> a = [1, 2, 3]
>>> a[0], a[2] = a[2], a[0]
>>> a
[3, 2, 1]
>>> import random
>>> x = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> random.shuffle(x)
>>> x
[5, 2, 4, 3, 1]
Is the final order defined by a list of indices ?
>>> items = [1, None, "chicken", int]
>>> order = [3, 0, 1, 2]
>>> ordered_list = [items[i] for i in order]
>>> ordered_list
[<type 'int'>, 1, None, 'chicken']
edit: meh. AJ was faster... How can I reorder a list in python?
