I have a bunch of files sorted numerically on a folder, when I try to sort glob.glob I never get the files in the right order.

file examples and expected output sorting

folder
------
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\1 sample.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\2 sample.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\3 sample.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\4 sample.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\5 sample.mp3
... over 800 files...

What I tried but the output seems random

files = sorted(glob.glob(f'{os.getcwd()}/*.mp3'), key=lambda x: (os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(x))[0]))C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\1 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\10 speech.mp3 
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\100 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\101 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\102 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\103 speech.mp3  
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\104 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\105 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\106 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\107 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\108 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\109 speech.mp3
C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\11 speech.mp3 

Is not a solution try to sorting by date or size.

UPDATE all the previous answer worked great:

l = sorted(glob.glob(f'{os.getcwd()}/*.mp3'), key=len)
l = sorted(glob.glob(f'{os.getcwd()}/*.mp3'), key=lambda x: int(os.path.basename(x).split(' ')[0]))def get_key(fp):filename = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(fp))[0]int_part = filename.split()[0]return int(int_part)l = sorted(glob.glob(f'{os.getcwd()}/*.mp3'), key=get_key)

Try this:

import glob
import os
files = sorted(glob.glob(f'{os.getcwd()}/*.txt'), key=len)
print(files)
