Get a sorted list of any iterable object
----------------------------------------

Input:      (iterable)  original iterable
            (boolean)   reverse     True -> descending order
                                    False -> ascending order
                        default: False
            (boolean)   key: Any function to decide the sorting order.

Return:     (list)    sorted iterable

# sorted() function using on list is similat like list.sort()
# However, list.sort() method can be used only on list, sorted() function
# accepts any iterable.
