# i am trying to get two types of information, first the list from monday - sunday with numbers from each day
# the secound print i am trying to get the list with numbers sorted from lowest to highest and the variable with string sorted from lowest to highest
# i get the variable to go from a - z in order but i want them to follow the same order as the list
