It's a builtin as of Python 2.4: Python 2.4.1c1 (#63, Mar 10 2005, 10:36:41) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> sorted <built-in function sorted> Python 2.3.5 (#62, Feb 8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> sorted Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'sorted' is not defined So you can use it if you have 2.4, but not otherwise (but the other solutions posted will work). =Tony.Meyer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
