sorted(iterable, /, *, key=None, reverse=False)

Returns test


iterable??
key??
reverse??

REMARKS
* No prefix required - Core
* Return a new sorted list from the items in iterable.
* Has two optional arguments which must be specified as keyword arguments.
* key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each element in iterable (for example, key=str.lower). The default value is None (compare the elements directly).
* reverse is a boolean value. If set to True, then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.
* Use functools.cmp_to_key() to convert an old-style cmp function to a key function.
* The built-in sorted() function is guaranteed to be stable. A sort is stable if it guarantees not to change the relative order of elements that compare equal — this is helpful for sorting in multiple passes (for example, sort by department, then by salary grade).
* The sort algorithm uses only < comparisons between items. While defining an __lt__() method will suffice for sorting, PEP 8 recommends that all six rich comparisons be implemented. This will help avoid bugs when using the same data with other ordering tools such as max() that rely on a different underlying method. Implementing all six comparisons also helps avoid confusion for mixed type comparisons which can call reflected the __gt__() method.
