Don't make it unnecessarily hard to find your code -- as long as it's small 
you can include it into your mail

with partite.txt looking like this

Assuming you want to perform a numerical sort on the numbers before the ' 
you can just apply sorted

with open(...) as f:
    print("".join(sorted(f))

as long as all number strings have the same length. 

If that's not the case python's sorted() has decorate-sort-undecorate 
capabilities built in -- no need to do it manually:

with open("partite.txt") as f:
    by_number = sorted(f, key=lambda line: int(line.partition("'")[0]))
    print("".join(by_number))
