In Python 2.4 you can get clever with the key function to sort() or sorted():
def keyFunc(mode):
depth, dims = mode
try:
ix = best.index(dims)
except ValueError:
ix = len(modes)
return (ix, -depth, -dims[0])
for mode in sorted(modes, key=keyFunc):
print mode
For Python 2.3 you can to use the decorate-sort-undecorate idiom. To do this
you build an intermediate list with the that will sort the way you want, sort
it, an remove the extra stuff you added at the beginning. The same keyFunc will
work:
deco = [(keyFunc(mode), mode) for mode in modes]
deco.sort()
modes = [mode for (key, mode) in deco]
for mode in modes:
print mode
