Example 1: python sort dictionary by value descending
Python Code:
import operator
d = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
print('Original dictionary : ',d)
sorted_d = dict(sorted(d.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1)))
print('Dictionary in ascending order by value : ',sorted_d)
sorted_d = dict(sorted(d.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1),reverse=True))
print('Dictionary in descending order by value : ',sorted_d)
Sample Output:
Original dictionary : {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
Dictionary in ascending order by value : {0: 0, 2: 1, 1: 2, 4: 3, 3: 4}
Dictionary in descending order by value : {3: 4, 4: 3, 1: 2, 2: 1, 0: 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: 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)])
