why sort in python is not working?

Question

code:

list=['1','85863','432','93','549834']

list.sort()

print (list)



Actual output:

>>> 

['1', '432', '549834', '85863', '93']

#why sort is not working

Expected output:

['1','93','432','83863','549834']

I have tried other sort operations also but they are displaying same output.
when i tried to read list from keyboard input they are reading only strings but not int please help me why?

You need to first convert the strings to int.

list = [int(ele) for ele in list]
list.sort()
print list
