[Tutor] simple report writing?

[Liam Clarke-Hutchinson]

Hi RC, 

>I have a list (x_list) of class data.

So, a list of instances/classes then.

You'll have to pass a custom function.

def tSort(objA,objB):
    #assuming that objA.x & objB.x are the items to sort by, and are
integers
    if objA < objB:
        result = -1
    elif objA = objB:
        result = 0
    elif objA > objB:
        #Would normally just do as an else
        #But being ultra explicit
        result = 1

    return result
 
x_list.sort(cmp=tSort)

Regards, 

Liam Clarke

I have a list (x_list) of class data. How do I sort that list by a selected 
variable common to all members of the list?

x_list.sort(key=x_list.v_name) # doesn't work becuase x_list can't see the 
individual items.
