Python – Sort by Rear Character in Strings List

When it is required to sort the list by rear character, a method is defined that uses negative indexing to return the result.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same −

def get_rear_position(element):
   return element[-1]

my_list = ['python', 'is', 'fun', 'to', 'learn']

print("The list is : ")
print(my_list)

my_list.sort(key = get_rear_position)

print("The result is : ")
print(my_list)

Output

The list is :
['python', 'is', 'fun', 'to', 'learn']
The result is :
['python', 'fun', 'learn', 'to', 'is']

Explanation

• A method is defined that takes element of the list as a parameter and returns the last element as output using negative indexing.

• A list is defined and displayed on the console.

• The list is now sorted using key as the previously defined method.

• This is the output that is displayed on the console.
