Part of a programme builds this list,
[u'1 x Affinity for war', u'1 x Intellect', u'2 x Charisma', u'2 x Perception', u'3 x Population growth', u'4 x Affinity for the land', u'5 x Morale']
I'm currently trying to sort it alphabetically by the name of the evolution rather than by the number. Is there any way I can do this without just changing the order the two things appear in the list (as in 'intellect x 1)?

In Python, there are two ways, sort() and sorted() , to sort lists ( list ) in ascending or descending order. If you want to sort strings ( str ) or tuples ( tuple ), use sorted() .
sort() is one of Python's list methods for sorting and changing a list. It sorts list elements in either ascending or descending order. sort() accepts two optional parameters. reverse is the first optional parameter.
You have to get the "key" from the string.
def myKeyFunc( aString ):
stuff, x, label = aString.partition(' x ')
return label
aList.sort( key= myKeyFunc )
