Sorting the elements of a list

The elements of a list could be sorted using the sort() method:

    random_list = [8, 7, 5, 2, 2, 5, 7, 5, 6, 4]
    >>> random_list.sort()
    >>> random_list
    [2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8]

When a list consists of a collection of strings, they are sorted in the alphabetical order:

    >>> day_of_week = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Thursday',
    'Friday', 'Saturday']
    >>> day_of_week.sort()
    >>> day_of_week
    ['Friday', 'Monday', 'Saturday', 'Thursday', 'Tuesday']
