sort dictionary in 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: python dict sort 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: python sort dict by key

A={1:2, -1:4, 4:-20}
{k:A[k] for k in sorted(A)}

output:
{-1: 4, 1: 2, 4: -20}

Example 4: sort the dictionary in python

d = {2: 3, 1: 89, 4: 5, 3: 0}
od = sorted(d.items())
print(od)

Example 5: 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 6: 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)])
