Sorting a list based on upper and lower case

Question

I have a list:

List1 = ['name','is','JOHN','My']

I want to append the pronoun as the first item in a new list and append the names at last. Other items should be in the middle and their positions can change.

So far I have written:

my_list = ['name','is','JOHN','My']

new_list = []

for i in my_list:
  if i.isupper():
    my_list.remove(i)
  new_list.append(i)
print(new_list)

Here, I can't check if an item is completely upper case or only its first letter is upper case.

Output I get:

['name','is','JOHN','My']

Output I want:

['My','name','is','JOHN']

or:

['My','is','name','JOHN']

EDIT: I have seen this post and it doesn’t have answers to my question.

Answer 1

i.isupper() will tell you if it's all uppercase.

To test if just the first character is uppercase and the rest lowercase, you can use i.istitle()

To make your final result, you can append to different lists based on the conditions.

all_cap = []
init_cap = []
non_cap = []

for i in my_list:
    if i.isupper():
        all_cap.append(i)
    elif i.istitle():
        init_cap.append(i)
    else: 
        non_cap.append(i)

new_list = init_cap + non_cap + all_cap
print(new_list)
