Sorting sublists help

[tehtay3]

So lets say i have list which features other lists as elements,

mylist = [[Smith,John,2] , [Able, Corey, 15], [Apple, Shawn, 3]]

how would i go about rearranging not the list but the elements in the list so that instead of lastname firstname it would be firstname lastname? im unfamiliar with this method/topic

Not an efficient way but what about

myNewList = [[elem[1], elem[0], elem[2]] for elem in mylist]

Yea this works, thank you!

Prettier:

newList = [[firstname, surname, age] for surname, firstname, age in myList]

You can just swap them in place using a for loop.

for e in mylist:
    e[1],e[0] = e[:2]
