Python list sort in descending order

Question

How can I sort this list in descending order?

timestamp = [
    \"2010-04-20 10:07:30\",
    \"2010-04-20 10:07:38\",
    \"2010-04-20 10:07:52\",
    \"2010         


        

Answer 1

Since your list is already in ascending order, we can simply reverse the list.

>>> timestamp.reverse()
>>> timestamp
['2010-04-20 10:25:38', 
'2010-04-20 10:12:13', 
'2010-04-20 10:12:13', 
'2010-04-20 10:11:50', 
'2010-04-20 10:10:58', 
'2010-04-20 10:10:37', 
'2010-04-20 10:09:46', 
'2010-04-20 10:08:22',
'2010-04-20 10:08:22', 
'2010-04-20 10:07:52', 
'2010-04-20 10:07:38', 
'2010-04-20 10:07:30']
