How about sorting the strings as they are reversed? urls = """\ http://mail.google.com http://reader.google.com http://mail.yahoo.co.uk http://google.com http://mail.yahoo.com""".split("\n") sortedList = [ su[1] for su in sorted([ (u[::-1],u) for u in urls ]) ] for url in sortedList: print url Prints: http://mail.yahoo.co.uk http://mail.google.com http://reader.google.com http://google.com http://mail.yahoo.com Close to what you are looking for, might be good enough? -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
