-   key function
-      A key function or collation function is a callable that returns a value
-      used for sorting or ordering.  For example, :func:`locale.strxfrm` is
-      used to produce a sort key that is aware of locale specific sort
-      conventions.
-
-      A number of tools in Python accept key functions to control how elements
-      are ordered or grouped.  They include :func:`min`, :func:`max`,
-      :func:`sorted`, :meth:`list.sort`, :func:`heapq.nsmallest`,
-      :func:`heapq.nlargest`, and :func:`itertools.groupby`.
-
-      There are several ways to create a key function.  For example. the
-      :meth:`str.lower` method can serve as a key function for case insensitive
-      sorts.  Alternatively, an ad-hoc key function can be built from a
-      :keyword:`lambda` expression such as ``lambda r: (r[0], r[2])``.  Also,
-      the :mod:`operator` module provides three key function constuctors:
-      :func:`~operator.attrgetter`, :func:`~operator.itemgetter`, and
-      :func:`~operator.methodcaller`.  See the :ref:`sortinghowto` for
-      examples of how to create and use key functions.
