how to sort dictionary using values code example

Example 1: how to sort a dictionary by value in python

import operator
x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))


# Sort by key
import operator
x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(0))

Example 2: sort dictionary by value python

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 a dictionary by value then key

d = {'apple': 2, 'banana': 3, 'almond':2 , 'beetroot': 3, 'peach': 4}
[v[0] for v in sorted(d.items(), key=lambda kv: (-kv[1], kv[0]))]
