I'm having difficulty in sorting a list of strings in a descending order in terms of the length of words. Please help

Consider the following example lst = ['r','ris','ri','rishi','rish'] #for ascending order sorted(lst,key=len) #for decending order sorted(lst,key=len)[::-1]

You can also do it by adding another argument to the call of sort or sorted: reverse=True

If you can use this example to explain to me I'll appreciate. Countries=["Kenya", "Australia", "Canada", "USA"] I've been using countries.sort(key=len) to try and sort the list by length in a descending order
