Hi,

The dictionary in Python are unsorted and if you want to sort it you use the sorted() function.

Here is the full example:

dict = {"z":2555,"b":200,"a":560,"y":2005}

sorted_dict = sorted(dict.items(), key = lambda kv: kv[1])

print(sorted_dict)

Out of the above program:

>>> 
>>> dict = {"a":200,"b":560,"y":2005,"z":2555}
>>> 
>>> sorted_dict = sorted(dict.items(), key = lambda kv: kv[1])
>>> 
>>> print(sorted_dict)
[('a', 200), ('b', 560), ('y', 2005), ('z', 2555)]
>>> 
>>> 
>>> dict = {"z":2555,"b":200,"a":560,"y":2005}
>>> 
>>> sorted_dict = sorted(dict.items(), key = lambda kv: kv[1])
>>> 
>>> print(sorted_dict)
[('b', 200), ('a', 560), ('y', 2005), ('z', 2555)]
>>>

This is very simple and sweet example of sorting a dictionary in Python. Hope you enjoyed this example.

Thanks
