Python 3.7.2rc1 (tags/v3.7.2rc1:75a402a217, Dec 11 2018, 23:05:39) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

I used the following code to sort by VALUES my Dictionay print(" SORTED VALUES ## ===============================\n") for key, value in sorted(d.items(), key = lambda kv:( kv[1], kv[0])): print ("%s: %s" % (key, value))

or simply print(sorted(d.items(), key = lambda kv:( kv[1], kv[0])))

@rosarion (and Zoynels) thanks for the python 3 example-- I updated the post

[nidaj]

dict_1 = {2:56,1:2,5:12,4:24,6:18,3:323} print(dict_1)

sort by keys

for i in sorted(dict_1.keys()): print(i,":",dict_1.get(i),end=" ")

Sort By values

for i in sorted(dict_1.values(),reverse = False): for j in dict_1.keys(): if dict_1.get(j) == i: print(j,":",i)

Will this code also work for Python 3? I found this new code for sort dictionary in python, is it good to work for python 3?

With the release of Python version 3.7 and above by default, dictionaries have been modified to maintain insertion order, which means now dictionaries are ordered collection of data values. Checkout the article on How to Sort Dictionary by value in Python with Python 3.7 and above
