Python sort() Syntax Guide

The sort() function is used to sort a list in ascending order by default. Its syntax rules are as follows:

list.sort(key=None, reverse=False)

Explanation of parameters:

1. Key: Used to specify the sorting criteria, which can be a function or a lambda expression, to determine the sorting order.
2. reverse: specify if reverse ordering is needed, default is False which means sorting in ascending order.

Note: The sort() function will directly modify the original list, if you want to preserve the original list, you can use the sorted() function for sorting.
