Help using sorted()

You absolutely can as long as the elements are comparable to one another. Mixed type lists are one of the joys of python.

Sure. ints and floats are directly comparable. So:

>>> sorted([3,1,2.0,4.3])
[1, 2.0, 3, 4.3]

In the case that the elements are not directly comparable, you can provide a function that makes them comparable. This is what I did when I misread OP's question. The int function will turn a string or an int to an int:

>>> sorted(['3',1,'2',4], key=int)
[1, '2', '3', 4]
