How do I return the values in descending order for the following quick sort code i wrote in python?

Question

Answer 1

I tweaked the your code and attached it below:

def quicksort(lst, column, descending=True):
    low = []
    high = []
    result = []

    if len(lst) <= 1:
        return lst

    if descending == True:
        pivot = lst[0][column]

        for i in lst:
            if i[column] == pivot:
                result.append(i)
            elif i[column] > pivot:
                low.append(i)
            elif i[column] < pivot:
                high.append(i)

        return quicksort(low, column) + result + quicksort(high, column)
