python sort list of dictionary by key code example

Example 1: sort list of dictionaries by key python

newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=lambda k: k['name'])

Example 2: sorted python lambda

lst = [('candy','30','100'), ('apple','10','200'), ('baby','20','300')]

# sort by age
[('dave', 'B', 10), ('jane', 'B', 12), ('john', 'A', 15)]

Example 4: python sort dictionary by key

In [1]: import collections

In [2]: d = {2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}

In [3]: od = collections.OrderedDict(sorted(d.items()))

In [4]: od
Out[4]: OrderedDict([(1, 89), (2, 3), (3, 0), (4, 5)])
