Let's say I have the following list of numbers: (1, 23, 6, 4, 99) Now I want to put that list into ascending order. I need to "sort" the data into an order that will be useful to me.

I could write a function that:

Here's how it would work:

Python has a built-in sorting method!

sort()

Usage:

SortMe = [1, 23, 6, 4, 99]

for entries in range (0,5):

print SortMe[entries]

raw_input ("Press Enter")

SortMe.sort();

for entries in range (0,5):

print SortMe[entries]
