Python不对sql查询结果进行排序

Question

results = conn.execute(SEARCH_SQL, dict(fingerprint="{"+fp_str+"}")).fetchall() print sorted(results)

I retrieve some datas from database by using sql alchemy. results is like that:

[(0.515625, u'str1'), (0.625, u'str2'), (0.901042, u'str3')]

However sort function does not work here, that is it does not do any operation on the list returned from sql query? How can I sort result list?

Answer 1

You have a list of tuples. How would you like to sort them?

For example, if you want to sort them according to the first key:

sorted(results, key=lambda t:t[0])

or in reverse order:

sorted(results, key=lambda t:t[0], reverse=True)
