How can you sort a list of attributes within a class in Python?

In Python, class attributes are usually stored in the __dict__ dictionary. To get and sort a list of class attributes, you can use the sorted() function on the keys of this dictionary. For example:

class MyClass:
    z = 3
    a = 1
    m = 2

# Get a sorted list of class attributes
sorted_attrs = sorted(MyClass.__dict__.keys())

print(sorted_attrs)

This will output a sorted list of attribute names, including methods and special attributes. If you want to get only user-defined attributes, you can filter out the special ones (starting with __).

If you're referring to instance attributes, you can sort self.__dict__ inside class methods.
