How do you sort data alphabetically in the grid column.

In one of the previous post i found a link

its not in python so can anyone please explain the logic behind it.

it was (fairly)easy to sort the datagrid column if the column contained just numbers.
( double click event on a particular column label)

 
            counter = 1
            Number_of_rows_Grid1 = self.grid1.GetNumberRows()
            self.grid1.InsertRows(pos=Number_of_rows_Grid1, numRows=1)
            for rows1 in range (0, Number_of_rows_Grid1-1):    
                P1 = self.grid1.GetCellValue(rows1, clicked_column_number)
                if (P1):
                    P1 = float(P1)
                else:
                    P1 = 0.00
                for rows2 in range (counter, Number_of_rows_Grid1-1):
                    P2 = self.grid1.GetCellValue(rows2, clicked_column_number)
                    if (P2):
                        P2 = float(P2)
                    else:
                        P2 = 0.00
 
                    if (P2<P1):
                        for col in range (0, 10):
                            self.grid1.SetCellValue(Number_of_rows_Grid1, col, self.grid1.GetCellValue(rows1, col))
                            self.grid1.SetCellValue(rows1, col, self.grid1.GetCellValue(rows2, col))
                            self.grid1.SetCellValue(rows2, col, self.grid1.GetCellValue(Number_of_rows_Grid1, col))
                        P1 = P2
                counter = counter + 1
            self.grid1.DeleteRows(pos=Number_of_rows_Grid1, numRows=1)
