Answer 1

I am trying to write a program that orders a list of strings based on the last character in the item.

>>> s = ["Tiger 6", "Shark 4", "Cyborg 8"]
>>> sorted(s, key=lambda x: int(x[-1]))
['Shark 4', 'Tiger 6', 'Cyborg 8']

Try this if there are more num of digits at the last.

>>> import re
>>> sorted(s, key=lambda x: int(re.search(r'\d+$',x).group()))
['Shark 4', 'Tiger 6', 'Cyborg 8']

re.search(r'\d+$',x).group() helps to fetch the number present at the last irrespective of preceding space.
