install it using pip; quit Sage and run (in Sage's root directory): ./sage --pip install natsort now this works: ./sage ... sage: from natsort import natsorted sage: a = ['2 ft 7 in', '1 ft 5 in', '10 ft 2 in', '2 ft 11 in', '7 ft 6 in'] sage: natsorted(a) ['1 ft 5 in', '2 ft 7 in', '2 ft 11 in', '7 ft 6 in', '10 ft 2 in'] sage: > > On Sun, 21 Apr 2019 at 23:59, Nils Bruin <nbr...@sfu.ca> wrote: >> >> sorted(L, key=lambda v: (v[:1],int(v[1:]))) >> >> would do the trick.
