-    It is also possible to sort by an attribute (for example to sort

+    :param reverse: Sort descending instead of ascending.
+    :param case_sensitive: When sorting strings, sort upper and lower
+        case separately.
+    :param attribute: When sorting objects or dicts, an attribute or
+        key to sort by. Can use dot notation like ``"address.city"``.
+        Can be a list of attributes like ``"age,name"``.
