How to sort a list in python in non-decreasing order?

I have the following list

distances = ['5.67', '8.91', '6.48', '9.32', '13.38', '14.99']

I have did some research and have tried

sorted(distances , key = float)

and I have also tried 

distances.sort()

However neither have worked. Wondering what i am doing wrong?

Your approach should work. How do you want the values sorted?

distances = ['5.67', '8.91', '6.48', '9.32', '13.38', '14.99']

distances = sorted(distances, key=float)

print(distances)

['5.67', '6.48', '8.91', '9.32', '13.38', '14.99']
