python 多列排序,Python：按“列”对列表进行排序

How can I sort a list-of-lists by "column", i.e. ordering the lists by the ith element of each list?

For example:

a=[['abc',5],

['xyz',2]]

print sortByColumn(a,0)

[['abc',5],

['xyz',2]]

print sortByColumn(a,1)

[['xyz',2],

['abc',5]]

解决方案

You could use sort with its key argument equal to a lambda function:

sorted(a, key=lambda x: x[0])

[['abc', 5], ['xyz', 2]]

sorted(a, key=lambda x: x[1])

[['xyz', 2], ['abc', 5]]

Another way would be to use key with operator.itemgetter, which creates the required lambda function:

from operator import itemgetter

sorted(a, key=itemgetter(1))

[['xyz', 2], ['abc', 5]]
