Answer 1

sorted is not in-place. It will only return a sorted list. You will have to assign it back

data = sorted(data)

This will overwrite the contents of data after sorting.

f=open("classa2.txt", "r")
data=f.readlines()
data=sorted(data)
print(data)

To print the contents of a list, you have to do

for i in data:
    print(i.strip('n'))
