When it is required to sort the dictionaries in Python using a key or a value, a dictionary can be defined, and key value pairs can be inserted into it. A ‘for’ loop can be used to iterate through the key value pair, and sort it using ‘sort’ method. This method can be called.
Below is the demonstration of the same −
Example
def my_dict():
my_key_value_pair ={}
my_key_value_pair[2] = 56
my_key_value_pair[1] = 2
my_key_value_pair[5] = 12
my_key_value_pair[4] = 24
my_key_value_pair[6] = 18
my_key_value_pair[3] = 323
print ("The keys and values after sorting in alphabetical order based on the key are : ")
for i in sorted (my_key_value_pair) :
print((i, my_key_value_pair[i]))
my_dict()Output
The keys and values after sorting in alphabetical order based on the key are : (1, 2) (2, 56) (3, 323) (4, 24) (5, 12) (6, 18)
Explanation
A method is defined, that initially assigns an empty dictionary to a variable.
The index of the empty dictionary is accessed and elements are assigned to indices.
The ‘sorted’ method is used to iterate through the dictionary, and display it on the console.
This method is called.
The output is displayed on the console.
