Can I just clarify the meaning of reverse (the original posting
was a little unclear)? I think that

    l.sort(reverse=True)

should mean the same as

    l.sort()
    l.reverse()

(ie, both sort and reverse inplace, with a void return). The
original posting gave me the impression that a copy would be
done (which I don't think is necessary).

Paul.
