本文实例讲述了python实现忽略大小写对字符串列表排序的方法，是非常实用的技巧。分享给大家供大家参考。具体分析如下：
先来看看如下代码：
string = ”’
the stirng
has many
line in
the file
jb51 net
”’
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print ‘*’*50
def case_insensitive_sort(liststring):
listtemp = [(x.lower(),x) for x in liststring]#将字符串列表，生成元组，（忽略大小写的字符串，字符串）
listtemp.sort()#对元组排序，因为元组为：（忽略大小写的字符串，字符串），就是按忽略大小写的字符串排序
return [x[1] for x in listtemp]#排序完成后，返回原字符串的列表
print case_insensitive_sort(list_of_string)#调用起来，测试一下
结果：
[‘the’, ‘stirng’, ‘has’, ‘many’, ‘line’, ‘in’, ‘the’, ‘file’, ‘jb51’, ‘net’]
**************************************************
[‘file’, ‘has’, ‘in’, ‘jb51’, ‘line’, ‘many’, ‘net’, ‘stirng’, ‘the’, ‘the’]
另一种方法：
使用内建函数
sorted(iterable[,cmp[, key[,reverse]]])
该函数的官方描述文档如下：
return a new sorted list from the items in iterable.
key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element:key=str.lower. the default value isnone.
使用参数key=str.lower
完整代码如下：
string = ”’
the stirng
has many
line in
the file
jb51 net
”’
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print ‘*’*50
def case_insensitive_sort2(liststring):
return sorted(liststring,key = str.lower)
print case_insensitive_sort2(list_of_string)#调用起来，测试一下
效果一样~
方法三：
使用list的sort方法：
该方法的官方描述文档如下：
the sort() method takes optional arguments for controlling the comparisons.
cmp specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than the second argument: cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()). the default value is none.
key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element: key=str.lower. the default value is none.
reverse is a boolean value. if set to true, then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.
具体代码如下：
string = ”’
the stirng
has many
line in
the file
jb51 net
”’
list_of_string = string.split()
print list_of_string #将字符串分离开，放入列表中
print ‘*’*50
def case_insensitive_sort3(liststring):
liststring.sort(cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()))
case_insensitive_sort3(list_of_string)
print list_of_string
但这次调用的时候就有区别了。
