?Does Python have sorting via "Dictionary Order"?

[Norman Shelley]

Does Python have sorting via "Dictionary Order"?  This would be a very
handy addition as an option to list's sort() function.

This is defined by D. Richard Hipp as:
"The case of alphabetic characters is ignored, except to break ties.
Thus "B"
comes before "b" but after "a".  Also, integers embedded in the strings
compare
in numerical order.  In other words, "x10y" comes after "x9y", not
before it as
it would when using strcmp().
