Sort results non-lexicographically?

Question

I\'m trying to display some results in a human-readable way. For the purposes of this question, some of them are numbers, some are letters, some are a combination of the two.

Answer 1

For your specific case:

def mySort(l):
    numbers = []
    words = []
    for e in l:
        try:
            numbers.append(int(e))
        except:
            words.append(e)
    return [str(i) for i in sorted(numbers)] + sorted(words)

print mySort(input)
