Sort a List in Ascending Order in Python

In this article we show how to sort a list in ascending order in python

Example

We use a for loop to add numbers to the Python list using the append method

We then use the sort method to sort the List items in ascending order.

# Sort a List in Ascending Order
myList = []

Number = int(input("Please enter the Number of List Elements: "))
for i in range(1, Number + 1):
    value = int(input("Please enter the Value of Element %d : " %i))
    myList.append(value)

myList.sort()

print("Sorted List in Ascending Order is : ", myList)

When you run this you will see something like this

>>> %Run listascend.py
Please enter the Number of List Elements: 6
Please enter the Value of Element 1 : 10
Please enter the Value of Element 2 : 50
Please enter the Value of Element 3 : 30
Please enter the Value of Element 4 : 20
Please enter the Value of Element 5 : 60
Please enter the Value of Element 6 : 40
Sorted List in Ascending Order is :  [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60]
