克劳狄对马克·拜尔斯的回答的改进;-)

import re

def natural_sort_key(s, _re=re.compile(r'(\d+)')):
    return [int(t) if i & 1 else t.lower() for i, t in enumerate(_re.split(s))]

...
my_naturally_sorted_list = sorted(my_list, key=natural_sort_key)

顺便说一句，也许不是每个人都记得函数参数默认值是在def时求值的

下面是马克·拜尔回答的一个更加python化的版本:

import re

def natural_sort_key(s, _nsre=re.compile('([0-9]+)')):
    return [int(text) if text.isdigit() else text.lower()
            for text in _nsre.split(s)]

现在这个函数可以在任何使用它的函数中用作键，比如list。Sort, sorted, max，等等。

作为lambda:

lambda s: [int(t) if t.isdigit() else t.lower() for t in re.split('(\d+)', s)]

完全可重复的演示代码:

import re
natsort = lambda s: [int(t) if t.isdigit() else t.lower() for t in re.split('(\d+)', s)]
L = ["a1", "a10", "a11", "a2", "a22", "a3"]   
print(sorted(L, key=natsort))  
# ['a1', 'a2', 'a3', 'a10', 'a11', 'a22'] 

试试这个:

import re

def natural_sort(l): 
    convert = lambda text: int(text) if text.isdigit() else text.lower()
    alphanum_key = lambda key: [convert(c) for c in re.split('([0-9]+)', key)]
    return sorted(l, key=alphanum_key)

输出:

['elm0', 'elm1', 'Elm2', 'elm9', 'elm10', 'Elm11', 'Elm12', 'elm13']

代码改编自这里:排序人类:自然排序顺序。

data = ['elm13', 'elm9', 'elm0', 'elm1', 'Elm11', 'Elm2', 'elm10']

让我们分析一下数据。所有元素的数字容量为2。在常见的字面部分“elm”中有3个字母。

所以，元素的最大长度是5。我们可以增加这个值以确保(例如，增加到8)。

记住这一点，我们有一个简单的解决方案:

data.sort(key=lambda x: '{0:0>8}'.format(x).lower())

没有正则表达式和外部库!

print(data)

>>> ['elm0', 'elm1', 'Elm2', 'elm9', 'elm10', 'Elm11', 'elm13']

解释:

for elm in data:
    print('{0:0>8}'.format(elm).lower())

>>>
0000elm0
0000elm1
0000elm2
0000elm9
000elm10
000elm11
000elm13

在@Mark Byers的回答之后，这里有一个接受关键参数的适应，并且更符合pep8。

def natsorted(seq, key=None):
    def convert(text):
        return int(text) if text.isdigit() else text

    def alphanum(obj):
        if key is not None:
            return [convert(c) for c in re.split(r'([0-9]+)', key(obj))]
        return [convert(c) for c in re.split(r'([0-9]+)', obj)]

    return sorted(seq, key=alphanum)

我还做了一个Gist

上面的答案对于上面给出的具体例子是有用的，但对于更普遍的自然排序问题，却遗漏了几个有用的例子。我刚刚被其中一个案例咬了一口，所以想出了一个更彻底的解决方案:

def natural_sort_key(string_or_number):
    """
    by Scott S. Lawton <scott@ProductArchitect.com> 2014-12-11; public domain and/or CC0 license

    handles cases where simple 'int' approach fails, e.g.
        ['0.501', '0.55'] floating point with different number of significant digits
        [0.01, 0.1, 1]    already numeric so regex and other string functions won't work (and aren't required)
        ['elm1', 'Elm2']  ASCII vs. letters (not case sensitive)
    """

    def try_float(astring):
        try:
            return float(astring)
        except:
            return astring

    if isinstance(string_or_number, basestring):
        string_or_number = string_or_number.lower()

        if len(re.findall('[.]\d', string_or_number)) <= 1:
            # assume a floating point value, e.g. to correctly sort ['0.501', '0.55']
            # '.' for decimal is locale-specific, e.g. correct for the Anglosphere and Asia but not continental Europe
            return [try_float(s) for s in re.split(r'([\d.]+)', string_or_number)]
        else:
            # assume distinct fields, e.g. IP address, phone number with '.', etc.
            # caveat: might want to first split by whitespace
            # TBD: for unicode, replace isdigit with isdecimal
            return [int(s) if s.isdigit() else s for s in re.split(r'(\d+)', string_or_number)]
    else:
        # consider: add code to recurse for lists/tuples and perhaps other iterables
        return string_or_number
