It appears the question you linked works not with the raw contours but first obtains a bounding rectangle using cv2.boundingRect. Only then does it make sense to calculate max_width and max_height. The code you posted suggests that you are trying to sort the raw contours, not bounding rectangles. If that is not the case, can you provide a more complete piece of your code, including a list of multiple contours that you are trying to sort?
