Python Sort with multiple keys

This is the sample when sorting with multiple keys in descending order.

    cars = [
      {'car''Ford''year'2005},
      {'car''Mitsubishi''year'2000},
      {'car''Buick''year'2018},
      {'car''Buick''year'2019},
      {'car''BMW''year'2019},
      {'car''Faraday''year'2014},
      {'car''VW''year'2011},
      {'car''Lincoln''year'2017},
    ]
    print("cars")
    print(*cars, sep="\n")
    cars_sorted = sorted(cars, key = lambda x: ([-ord(c) for c in x["car"]], -x["year"]))
    print("sorted cars")
    print(*cars_sorted, sep="\n")

For string to do reversed order, a little trick is to convert character to ascii code number.

{'car': 'VW', 'year': 2011}
{'car': 'Mitsubishi', 'year': 2000}
{'car': 'Lincoln', 'year': 2017}
{'car': 'Ford', 'year': 2005}
{'car': 'Faraday', 'year': 2014}
{'car': 'Buick', 'year': 2019}
{'car': 'Buick', 'year': 2018}
{'car': 'BMW', 'year': 2019}
