I have a list of five-character strings, each string representing a hand of five playing cards. I want to sort each string so it's in ascending order by number, followed by the cards (T,J,Q,K,A). So “Q4JTK”, "9T43A" and “T523Q” will sort to “4TJQK”, "349TA" and “235TQ” respectively. I can sort a numeric five character string using: def sort_string(s): return ''.join(sorted(s)) print(sort_string("21437")) But how to sort a string with numbers and letters? I would probably find a regular function easier to follow than a lambda function. Thanks. Continue reading...
