Comments on: How to Properly Sort Strings Containing Numbers in Python http://code.hammerpig.com/how-to-properly-sort-strings-containing-numbers-in-python.html Tips and short tutorials on various programming technologies Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:17:05 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Amit http://code.hammerpig.com/how-to-properly-sort-strings-containing-numbers-in-python.html/comment-page-1#comment-218 Amit Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:42:56 +0000 http://code.hammerpig.com/?p=470#comment-218 Thanks very much for providing this code. I find it useful. I have discovered two issues with it: -There are four lines of unit tests that do not contain a comparison operator. -Uppercase strings seem to be sorted such that they come before lowercase strings. For example, compare 'M List' and 'h80', with the former coming before. Why is this? It might have been better to do case independent sorting. Please email me if the script is updated.
