Sort list of dictionaries

[Charles Heizer]

Sorry,

sortedlist = sorted(mylist , key=lambda elem: "%s %s" % (elem['name'], LooseVersion(elem['version'])), reverse=True)

This is what I was trying but LooseVersion() was not sorting version numbers like I thought it would. You will notice that Chrome version "40.0.2214.111" is higher than "40.0.2214.91" but in the end result it's not sorting it that way.

Thanks,
Charlie
