pythondocx 排序,自定义排序python

I have a question:

This is list of lists, formed by ElementTree library.

[['word1', ], ['word2', ], ['word3', ], ['word4', ]]

word1..4 may contain unicode characters i.e (â,ü,ç).

I want to sort this list of lists by my custom alphabet.

I know how to sort by custom alphabet from here

sorting words in python

The problem is that I couldn't find the way how to apply these two method to sort my "list of lists".

Your first link more or less solves the problem. You just need to have the lambda function only look at the first item in your list:

alphabet = "zyxwvutsrqpomnlkjihgfedcba"

new_list = sorted(inputList, key=lambda word: [alphabet.index(c) for c in word[0]])

One modification I might suggest, if you're sorting a reasonably large list, is to change the alphabet structure into a dict first, so that index lookup is faster:

alphabet_dict = dict([(x, alphabet.index(x)) for x in alphabet)

new_list = sorted(inputList, key=lambda word: [alphabet_dict[c] for c in word[0]])
