*cmp* specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (iterable
elements) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on
whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than

*key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison

*reverse* is a boolean value. If set to ``True``, then the list elements are
sorted as if each comparison were reversed.
