Hi all,
I would like to sort according to this order:

(' ', '.', '\'', '-', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 
'A', 'ä', 'Ä', 'á', 'Á', 'â', 'Â', 'à', 'À', 'å', 'Å', 'b', 'B', 'c', 'C', 'ç', 
'Ç', 'd', 'D', 'e', 'E', 'ë', 'Ë', 'é', 'É', 'ê', 'Ê', 'è', 'È', 'f', 'F', 'g', 
'G', 'h', 'H', 'i', 'I', 'ï', 'Ï', 'í', 'Í', 'î', 'Î', 'ì', 'Ì', 'j', 'J', 'k', 
'K', 'l', 'L', 'm', 'M', 'n', 'ñ', 'N', 'Ñ', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'Ö', 'ó', 'Ó', 'ô', 
'Ô', 'ò', 'Ò', 'ø', 'Ø', 'p', 'P', 'q', 'Q', 'r', 'R', 's', 'S', 't', 'T', 'u', 
'U', 'ü', 'Ü', 'ú', 'Ú', 'û', 'Û', 'ù', 'Ù', 'v', 'V', 'w', 'W', 'x', 'X', 'y', 
'Y', 'z', 'Z')

How can I do this? The default sorted() does not give the desired result.

Thanks,

Pander

Meanwhile Python 3 supports locale aware sorting, see 
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/sorting.html


You're aware that the message you're responding to is 16 months old?

And answered pretty thoroughly, starting with the fact that the OP's 
desired order didn't match any particular locale.
