7718	sorted() is used by system tests, but isn't available on Python 2.3	Russell Keith-Magee	Russell Keith-Magee	"One of the proposed patches for #7303 correctly identified that sorted() is not available under Python 2.3. sorted() is used extensively in the Django system tests as a way of removing a dependency on dict ordering.

As at [7890], the following instances exist:
{{{
tests/modeltests/basic/models.py:>>> [sorted(d.items()) for d in dicts]

We could just replace the use of sorted() with sort(); a better approach (cleaner in terms of final output) would be to introduce a definition of sorted() when it is not available, much in the same way that set is imported when it is not available."		closed	Testing framework	dev		fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
