Thanks Oleg, since I am just strolling the archives at the moment and temporarily stopped subscription to the list, I didn't get your reply (probably you didn't cc me). Thanks again, Danny Oleg Broytmann wrote

How can I sort a sequence of STRINGS using sequence.sort? I don't know what to use as a "key"...

(I tried self, str, value, '', _.None, ....... :-))

Or in other words: What's the attribute of a string that returns the string itself?

Danny, you already asked the question few weeks ago, and I answered - there is no such key. Don't use sequence.sort(), just put your strings into a list (let us call it "alist") and call alist.sort().
