realsorted
(seq, key=None, reverse=False, alg=0)¶ Convenience function to properly sort signed floats.
Convenience function to properly sort signed floats within strings (i.e. “a-5.7”). This is a wrapper around
natsorted(seq, alg=ns.REAL)
.The behavior of
realsorted()
for natsort version >= 4.0.0 was the default behavior ofnatsorted()
for natsort version < 4.0.0.Parameters: - seq (iterable) – The sequence to sort.
- key (callable, optional) – A key used to determine how to sort each element of the sequence. It is not applied recursively. It should accept a single argument and return a single value.
- reverse ({True, False}, optional) – Return the list in reversed sorted order. The default is False.
- alg (ns enum, optional) – This option is used to control which algorithm natsort
uses when sorting. For details into these options, please see
the
ns
class documentation. The default is ns.REAL.
Returns: out – The sorted sequence.
Return type: See also
index_realsorted()
- Returns the sorted indexes from realsorted.
Examples
Use realsorted just like the builtin sorted:
>>> a = ['num5.10', 'num-3', 'num5.3', 'num2'] >>> natsorted(a) ['num2', 'num5.3', 'num5.10', 'num-3'] >>> realsorted(a) ['num-3', 'num2', 'num5.10', 'num5.3']
