Sorting strings vs. integers in Python
Sorting follows fairly simple rules in Python, but they can sometimes lead to confusing results. For example, if you try to sort a list of strings, where the strings contain only digits, you might be rather surprised by the results. In this video, I explain what's going on, why sorting works the way it does, and how you can solve the problem using either list comprehension or the "key" parameter for sorted.
