How do I sort a list of objects based on an attribute of the objects?

I have a list of Python objects that I want to sort by a specific attribute of each object: [Tag(name="toe", count=10), Tag(name="leg", count=2), ...] How do I sort the list by .count in descending order?
To sort the list in place: orig_list.sort(key=lambda x: x.count, reverse=True) To return a new list, use sorted: new_list = sorted(orig_list, key=lambda x: x.count, reverse=True) Explanation: key=lambda x: x.count sorts by count. reverse=True sorts in descending order. More on sorting by keys.
