to sort a string by converting it to a list , sorting the list , and then converting the sorted list back to a string . Here's an example:

string_to_sort = "hello world"
sorted_list = sorted(string_to_sort)
sorted_string = ''.join(sorted_list)
print(sorted_string)

In this example, we start with the string "hello world". We use the sorted() function to sort the string by converting it to a list of its characters, sorting the list, and then converting it back to a string using the join() method.

The output of this code will be:

Note that the sorted string is in alphabetical order, with uppercase letters coming before lowercase letters. If you want to sort the string in a different order, such as by the ASCII code of the characters, you can specify a different sorting function to the sorted() function.
