why is everybody making this complicated. you can refer to the same
object by many different names, and using a loop variable you can
refer to many different objects with the same name.

>>> l1 = ['b','r','t']
>>> l2 = ['t','b','a']
>>> l3 = ['f','b','i']
>>> l = [l1,l2,l3]
>>> for t in l: print t
...
['b', 'r', 't']
['t', 'b', 'a']
['f', 'b', 'i']
>>> for t in l:
...  t.sort()
...  print t
...
['b', 'r', 't']
['a', 'b', 't']
['b', 'f', 'i']
