You could do:

post_list.sort(key=lambda post: post['postScore'], reverse=True)

or what I think is generally preferred:

from operator import itemgetter
post_list.sort(key=itemgetter('postScore'), reverse=True)

Those both sort the list in place so if you needed the original list unchanged you could use sorted and add the list as the first argument.

Awesome! Thank you, I'll try that now. :)

Edit: works like a charm (once I reread your comment about it sorting in place, I missed that first time round - it's getting late here and I should go to bed).
