How do I sort a list of dictionaries by a value of the dictionary?

Question

I have a list of dictionaries and want each item to be sorted by a specific value.

Take into consideration the list:

[{\'name\':\'Homer\', \'age\':39},         


        

Answer 1

You may also use to sort by second element (x[1])
of dct_name.items() and call the dict() constructor to get it as a dictionary

sorted_dct = dict(sorted(dct_name.items(), key = lambda x : x[1]))
