# unnecessary-call-around-sorted (C413) Derived from the **flake8-comprehensions** linter. Autofix is always available. ## What it does Checks for unnecessary `list` or `reversed` calls around `sorted` calls. ## Why is this bad? It is unnecessary to use `list` around `sorted`, as the latter already returns a list. It is also unnecessary to use `reversed` around `sorted`, as the latter has a `reverse` argument that can be used in lieu of an additional `reversed` call. In both cases, it's clearer to avoid the redundant call. ## Examples ```python reversed(sorted(iterable)) ``` Use instead: ```python sorted(iterable, reverse=True) ```
