1add `reverse=True` to your `sorted` call. – tzaman Sep 17 '15 at 21:29

Where would i add it? I've tried this sorted_data=sorted(file.readlines(), key=lambda , reverse=True item: int(item.rsplit('=',1)[-1].strip())) but doesnt work :( – pman Sep 17 '15 at 21:30

Python's sorted takes a reverse keyword. Just set that to True and you're all set.
e.g.:
>>> print(sorted(range(10), reverse=True))
[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
Or, in your case:
sorted_data=sorted(file.readlines(), reverse=True, key=lambda item: int(item.rsplit('=',1)[-1].strip()))

@tzaman -- Yep. Sorry about that. `reversed` is the builtin -- which would also work to get a reversed iterator over the data (but doesn't work for just printing). – mgilson Sep 17 '15 at 21:30
