Hi there,

perhaps a typical newbie-question:

I've got a list of dictonaries like that:

mydics=[{'sortit': 'no412', 'mode': 'nothing'},
{'sortit': 'no112', 'mode': 'something'},
{'sortit': 'no02', 'mode': 'something else'}]

Is there an easy way to get that list sorted like that:

def sortDictonary(aDictonary, theSortKey="sortit"):
	....

Result have to be:

mydics=[{'sortit': 'no02', 'mode': 'something else'},
{'sortit': 'no112', 'mode': 'something'},
{'sortit': 'no412', 'mode': 'nothing'}]

Any hints?

Ciao,
Holger
