Sequence Sorting
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need multi-key sorting with locale support in a Zope context or similar framework. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with minimal friction. However, if you're building new code outside the Zope ecosystem, Python's built-in sorted() with custom key functions may be simpler. Verify ZPL-2.1 license compatibility first.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later.
- Low friction to install; pure Python wheel with only setuptools as a runtime dependency.
- Last release was 336 days ago; maintenance status is aging but the package is marked Production/Stable and supports current Python versions (3.9–3.13).

What it is and what it does
zope.sequencesort is a utility library for sorting sequences using multiple sort keys with fine-grained control over comparison behavior. It provides locale-aware string comparisons and per-key direction control, allowing you to sort complex data structures by multiple criteria in a single operation.
The package is part of the Zope ecosystem and is used primarily in web frameworks and applications that need sophisticated sorting logic. It has no external runtime dependencies beyond setuptools and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it lightweight to add to existing projects. The codebase is stable and actively maintained for current Python versions (3.9–3.13).
Use it for
- Sort database query results by multiple columns with mixed ascending/descending directions.
- Order multilingual content by locale-specific string comparison rules.
- Build custom sorting logic for web application result sets with per-field sort preferences.
- Handle edge cases like None values or broken objects in sequence comparisons.
- Implement catalog-style sorting in Zope-based content management systems.
