How to use .sort()

[Mrocks22]

The task I need to complete is the usage of .sort() and .split()

## This is the input but the input many vary Peng Ivan Alan Jodi Macy
data = input("Students: ")
data2 = data.split()
data3 = data2.sort()
print('Class Roll')
print(data3)

The expected result is this:

Students: Peng Ivan Alan Jodi Macy
Class Roll
Alan
Ivan
Jodi
Macy
Peng

How can I achieve this and why am I receiving different errors eg. typeerror and attribute error?

Thanks

The sort method of list is an inline sort and returns None.
In other words, the sort method is sorting the original list.
You should print data2 after the inline-sort.

To sort something, without modification of the original object, you could use the built-in function sorted().
This function returns a new sorted list.

Could you explain how you would do that? I'm kinda confused
