Turning a list of dictionaries into a list of lists

Question

I know this is possible with list comprehension but I can\'t seem to figure it out. Currently I have a list of dictionaries like so:

 [ {\'field1\': \'a\', \'fie         


        

Answer 1

You can try:

[[x['field2'], x['field1']] for x in l]

where l is your input list. The result for your data would be:

[['b', 'a'], ['d', 'c'], ['f', 'e']]

This way you ensure that the value for field2 comes before the value for field1
