Coordinates from a text file
#8
Strings are sorted by lexicographical order (also known as alphabetical order).

Here an example with some German words:
Output:
In [70]: sorted(random.sample(words, 10)) Out[70]: ['Bakterienzüchtung', 'Chrzowitz', 'Generalfragen', 'Latzrock', 'Prognosemodell', 'Reliefklischee', 'chaotisieren', 'dreireihig', 'erwünschtestes', 'kampfunfähigem'] In [71]: sorted(random.sample(words, 10)) Out[71]: ['Ablehnen', 'Attenschweiler', 'Bewahrheitung', 'Filzgarn', 'Rollin', 'Schneckengrün', 'Textilgürtelreifen', 'anpflanzender', 'herausgestrichenen', 'kostenschonendes']
words = ["Ca", "ca", "cA"]
print(sotred(words))
Output:
['Ca', 'cA', 'ca']
Python is "seeing" the chars as values and they are compared as values
words = ['Ca', 'cA', 'ca']
chars_as_int = [tuple(ord(c) for c in word) for word in sorted(words)]
print(chars_as_int)
Output:
[(67, 97), (99, 65), (99, 97)]
Python sorts by first letter, then second letter, ...

Do you want to sort via alphabet?

Uppercase letters are smaller in their value as Lowercase letters.
