Sorting a List in Reverse Order in Python: A Step-by-Step Guide

Python’s sort() function can easily sort lists in reverse order with a simple reverse=True parameter. This guide explains how to sort lists of numbers, strings, and custom objects in descending order using both the sort() and sorted() functions. Additionally, we’ll cover how to sort nested lists, tuples, and dictionaries in reverse. By mastering reverse sorting, you can handle a wide range of real-world scenarios, from ranking scores to organizing data in non-ascending order.
