Sort a Python dictionary by value

The first thing to make clear is that Python's dict itself cannot be sorted and more explicitly expressed as "a list of dict through operations into value ordered"

There are several ways to do this:

1.

Import= {1:2, 3:4, 4:3, 2:1= sorted (X.items (), Key=operator.itemgetter (1))# sorted by Value  = sorted (X.items (), key=operator.itemgetter (0))#sorted by key

2.

Sorted (Dict1, Key=dict1.get)

3.

Sorted (D.items (), key=Lambda x:x[1])

4.

 for  in Mydict.items ()])

5. Use Ordereddict

>>>#regular unsorted dictionary>>> d = {'Banana': 3,'Apple': 4,'Pear': 1,'Orange': 2}>>>#dictionary sorted by key>>> ordereddict (Sorted (D.items (), key=Lambdat:t[0])) Ordereddict ([('Apple', 4), ('Banana', 3), ('Orange', 2), ('Pear', 1)])>>>#dictionary sorted by value>>> ordereddict (Sorted (D.items (), key=LambdaT:t[1]) ordereddict ([('Pear', 1), ('Orange', 2), ('Banana', 3), ('Apple', 4)])>>>#dictionary sorted by length of the key string>>> ordereddict (Sorted (D.items (), key=LambdaT:len (t[0])) Ordereddict ([('Pear', 1), ('Apple', 4), ('Orange', 2), ('Banana', 3)])
