Due dates and sorting

Add an optional due date to each task and sort the list so the soonest is first. Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format sort correctly as plain text.

Key points

def by_due(t):
    return t.get("due") or "9999-12-31"

for t in sorted(tasks, key=by_due):
    print(t.get("due", "no date"), t["text"])

Your turn

Let users add a due date and show tasks sorted by date.
