Example 1: sort list of dictionaries by key python

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

Example 2: 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 3: sorting a dictionary in 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 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)])

Example 5: sort a dictionary

from operator import itemgetter
new_dict = sorted(data.items(), key=itemgetter(1))

Example 6: sort dictionary by key
