How to sort a list of strings in reverse order without using reverse=True parameter?

Question

I want to sort a list of strings in reverse order, e.g.:

my_list = [\'aaa\', \'bbb\', \'ccc\']

expected result:

[\'ccc\', \         


        

Answer 1

If 'my_list2' contains only ASCII, you can try:

sorted(my_list2, key=lambda t: (t[0],[255-ord(c) for c in list(t[1])]), reverse=True)                                
[('bbb', 'aaa'), ('bbb', 'ccc'), ('aaa', 'bbb'), ('aaa', 'ccc')]
