How to sort each individual string in a list of strings?

Question

I want to sort each string in a list of string to be in alphabetical order.

For example,

l1 = ["bba", "yxx", "abc"]

I want to sort it to be

l1 = ["abb", "xxy", "abc"]

I can do it in a for loop but wonder if this is a more pythonic way using python list comprehension. Thanks :D

Answer 1

Using list comprehension and str.join:

>>> l1 = ["bba", "yxx", "abc"]
>>> [''.join(sorted(s)) for s in l1]
['abb', 'xxy', 'abc']
