Sorted datetime objects with Python

gistfile1.py

# The trick is to pass timedelta object as a sort key and not to use cmp() function

import datetime

        def date_key(a):
            """
            a: date as string
            """
            a = datetime.datetime.strptime(a, '%d.%m.%Y').date()
            return a

        sorted_dates = sorted(sorted_dates, key=date_key)

How to do it ?

The time stamp is like: <2020-06-06T06:31:48.034549Z>

<2020-06-06T06:31:48.034821Z>

<2020-06-06T06:31:48.034854Z>

<2020-06-06T06:31:48.221945Z>
