how to sort values in dictionary python 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: sort dict by value
x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
{k: v for k, v in sorted(x.items(), key=lambda item: item[1])}
{0: 0, 2: 1, 1: 2, 4: 3, 3: 4}
Example 3: sort dictionary
#for dictionary d
sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]) #for inceasing order
sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True) # for decreasing order
#it will return list of key value pair tuples
Example 4: Python sort dictionary by value
from operator import itemgetter
new_dict = sorted(data.items(), key=itemgetter(1))
Example 5: sort dictionary by values
from collections import OrderedDict
dd = OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]))
print(dd)
