need help sorting a list of tuples in python 3

[edwardsdean]

I need help sorting my list of tuples it needs to be from least to greatest.

Any help would be greatly apreciated

in_file = open("scores.txt")high_scores = []for line in in_file:    score, name = line.split(", ")    high_scores += [(score, name)]print(high_scores)high_scores = sorted(high_scores)  ##NOT WORKINGprint(high_scores)for scores in high_scores:    score, name = scores[0], scores[1].strip()        space_to_add_to_name = 28 - len(name)    name += " " * space_to_add_to_name         space_to_add_to_score = 3 - len(score)    score = " " * space_to_add_to_score + score    print(name + score)

the scores.txt

4, Jimi Hendrix3, Nuno Bettencourt12, Eric Gales5, Lincoln Brewster

console output

[('4', 'Jimi Hendrix'), ('3', 'Nuno Bettencourt'), ('12', 'Eric Gales'), ('5', 'Lincoln Brewster')][('12', 'Eric Gales'), ('3', 'Nuno Bettencourt'), ('4', 'Jimi Hendrix'), ('5', 'Lincoln Brewster')]Eric Gales                   12Nuno Bettencourt              3Jimi Hendrix                  4Lincoln Brewster              5

I'll let you sort your print formatting out. Basically you were sorting strings and not Integers.

in_file = open("scores.txt")high_scores = []for line in in_file:    score, name = line.split(", ")    high_scores += [(int(score), name)]print(high_scores)high_scores = sorted(high_scores, key=lambda tup: tup[0])print(high_scores)

[(3, 'Nuno Bettencourt\n'), (4, 'Jimi Hendrix\n'), (5, 'Lincoln Brewster'), (12, 'Eric Gales\n')]
