How to Create a Sorting List in Python

Submitted by razormist on Friday, March 8, 2024 - 23:50.

In this tutorial, we will program a "How to Create a Sorting List in Python". We will delve into how to sort a list. The main goal here is to understand the structure of the program for sorting the data in the list. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming for sorting lists. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of creating this program, called "Sorting List". So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display the sorting list program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. while True:
  2.     ret=False
  3.  
  4.     print("\n\n================= Sort a List  =================\n\n")
  5.  
  6.  
  7.     programming = ['JavaScript', 'PHP', 'C++', 'Python', 'Kotlin', 'Java', 'Ruby']
  8.  
  9.     print(programming)
  10.  
  11.     input("\nPress Enter to Sort..........")
  12.     print('\n')
  13.     programming.sort()
  14.    
  15.     print(programming)
  16.  
  17.  
  18.     choices=input("\n\nDo you want to reverse the list? Yes/No: ")
  19.     print("\n\n")
  20.     if choices.lower()=='yes':
  21.         programming.sort(reverse=True)
  22.         print(programming)
  23.    
  24.     user_input=input("\n\nExit Application? (Yes/No): ")
  25.     if user_input.lower()=='yes':
  26.         print("Exit program.")
  27.         break
  28.  
  29.     elif user_input.lower()=='no':
  30.         ret=True
  31.  
  32.     else:
  33.         print("Wrong input.")
  34.         ret=True
  35.  
  36.  
  37.     if ret:
  38.         continue

In the provided code, the first step is to create a loop that we will use to make choices. Next, we create a variable that will handle the list. We use the built-in Python function sort to automatically sort the list that we provided.
