sort dictionary by key code example
Example 1: sort dictionary by key
sortedDictionary = sorted(mydictionary.keys())
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: 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 4: sort a dictionary
from operator import itemgetter
new_dict = sorted(data.items(), key=itemgetter(1))
Example 5: sort dict of dicts by key
channels = {
'24': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.items.AuctionChannel'},
'26': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.DeleteAvatarChannel'},
'27': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.AvatarMoneyChannel'},

'22': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.DistributionMarkChannel'},
'23': {'type': 'plain', 'table_name': 'channel.gm.MailChannel'}
}
channels = collection.OrderedDict(sorted(channels.items(), key=lambda item: item[0]))
for key,value in channels.items():
print(key, ':', value)
Example 6: sort dictionary by key
dictionary_items = a_dictionary.items()
sorted_items = sorted(dictionary_items)
