Question

I know that this sounds trivial but I did not realize that the sort() function of Python was weird. I have a list of \"numbers\" that are actually in string for

Answer 1

If you want to use strings of the numbers better take another list as shown in my code it will work fine.

list1=["1","10","3","22","23","4","2","200"]

k=[]    
for item in list1:    
    k.append(int(item))

k.sort()
print(k)
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 22, 23, 200]
