Sort a list with a custom order in Python

Question

I have a list

mylist = [[\'123\', \'BOOL\', \'234\'], [\'345\', \'INT\', \'456\'], [\'567\', \'DINT\', \'678\']]

I want to sort it with the orde

Answer 1

Another way could be; set your order in a list:

index = [2,1,0]

and create a new list with your order wished:

mylist = [mylist[_ind] for _ind in indx]

Out[2]: [['567', 'DINT', '678'], ['345', 'INT', '456'], ['123', 'BOOL', '234']]
