The problem I am currently having occurs when trying to use the collections sorted method to sort a dict made to keep the user's name and highest score. While I have already implemented the editable high score feature using 3 lists one holds float value. One holds float value+' %' and the other holds the name of the player. The sort method on the dict made from zip(name, float value+' %')

** Will output a score of 9.99% < 10% to the top of the leaderboard

** Will put a score of 100% near the bottom of the leaderboard same as 10%.

Current using the method 

sorted_position = sorted(position_collection.items(), key=lambda kv: kv[1], reverse=True)





position_collection=dict(zip(name_list,score_list))
             #step 4: creation of a dictionary from the name_list and score_list and sorting it by value
             sorted_position = sorted(position_collection.items(), key=lambda kv: kv[1], reverse=True)
             #This is the part of the code found on stack overflow it orders the dictionary by the key value I do not fully understand this code but it is causing issues.
             # I got it from here  - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/613183/how-do-i-sort-a-dictionary-by-value
             for z in range(0,len(sorted_position)):
                 this_tuple=tuple(sorted_position[z])
                 pos = z+1
              # This takes the position from the amount of tuples returned. Notice the cast to tuple. What was returned was an array I think? containing all of the tuples
              # When tuple = 0 it is the Name 1 is the score
                 if z!=len(sorted_position)-1:
                    #step 5: taking the tuples name and score and adding them to final_line the finished product that will be outputed.
                     final_line = final_line + str(pos)+". "+str(this_tuple[0])+" : "+str(this_tuple[1])+"\n"
                 else:
                     final_line = final_line + str(pos)+". "+str(this_tuple[0])+" : "+str(this_tuple[1])

             result = basetext+final_line

While expected scoreboard should be by a score higher at the top to lower at the bottom the return looks like this 

==LeaderBoard==
1. Orion Nelson : 81.395%
2. Zahara Mahoney : 7.698%
3. Lyndsey Sadler : 7.683%
4. Joe Man : 58.337%
5. Myah Chapman : 27.265%
6. Thelma Parra : 27.263%
7. Grady Amin : 22.231%
8. Elouise Stokes : 15.394%
9. Ivie Contreras : 15.392%
10. Saniiya Bolton : 15.378%
11. Farhan Gallagher : 13.336%
12. Harmony Christian : 12.503%
13. Winner Winner : 108.58%

If anyone has any clue what is going on my thought is it is only registering the first two numbers but do not know why.

Thanks,

Kapil

Figured It out sorry for asking such a stupid question new to python 

sorted(position_collection.items(), key=lambda kv: float(kv[1][:-1]), reverse=True)

In my defence, I tried this earlier but had another bug which made me think It was still broken.
