dict sort in python by key code example

Example 1: how can I sort a dictionary in python according to its values?

s = {1: 1, 7: 2, 4: 2, 3: 1, 8: 1}
k = dict(sorted(s.items(),key=lambda x:x[0],reverse = True))
print(k)

Example 2: sorting values in dictionary in python

#instead of using python inbuilt function we can it compute directly.
#here iam sorting the values in descending order..
d = {1: 1, 7: 2, 4: 2, 3: 1, 8: 1}
s=[]
for i in d.items():
  s.append(i)
for i in range(0,len(s)):
  for j in range(i+1,len(s)):
    if s[i][1]<s[j][1]:
      s[i],s[j]=s[j],s[i]
print(dict(s))

Example 3: sort dict of dicts by key

channels = {
'24': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.items.AuctionChannel'}, 
'26': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.DeleteAvatarChannel'}, 
'27': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.AvatarMoneyChannel'}, 
'20': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.AvatarMoneyAssertChannel'}, 
'21': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.AvatarKillMobComplexChannel'}, 
'22': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.DistributionMarkChannel'}, 
'23': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.MailChannel'}
}

channels = collection.OrderedDict(sorted(channels.items(), key=lambda item: item[0]))
for key,value in channels.items():
    print(key, ':', value)
