sorted dictionary?

[HenryJ]

Hi experts,

This is a short one Just wondering if there is a way to sort the print out of a dictionary. For example, if I print the dictionary, I got the result like:

{2: 16, 5: 22, 4: 20, 6: 13, 3: 19, 1: 10}

Can we make it like:

{1:10,2:16,3:19,4:20,5:22,6:13}

Really appreciate your help!

Best Regards,
Henry

Actually python will print your dictionary ordered, as default order key is dictionary key and here are integer numbers. But, if you want it explicit you can use such code to order by key:

sorted(d.iteritems(), key=lambda x: x[0])

to order by value:

sorted(d.iteritems(), key=lambda x: x[1])

In Python 3 you can get an ordered dictionary by insertion order. For the previous versions, you have to use https://docs.python.org/3/library/collec...rderedDict.

sorted_d = dict(sorted(d.items()))
