You can sort a list of dictionaries by values of the dictionary using the sorted function and passing it a lambda that tells which key to use for sorting. For example,
A = [{'name':'john','age':45}, {'name':'andi','age':23}, {'name':'john','age':22}, {'name':'paul','age':35}, {'name':'john','age':21}] new_A = sorted(A, key=lambda x: x['age']) print(new_A)
This will give the output:
[{'name': 'john', 'age': 21}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 22}, {'name': 'andi', 'age': 23}, {'name': 'paul', 'age': 35}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 45}]
You can also sort it in place using the sort function instead of the sorted function. For example,
A = [{'name':'john','age':45}, {'name':'andi','age':23}, {'name':'john','age':22}, {'name':'paul','age':35}, {'name':'john','age':21}] A.sort(key=lambda x: x['age']) print(A)
This will give the output:
[{'name': 'john', 'age': 21}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 22}, {'name': 'andi', 'age': 23}, {'name': 'paul', 'age': 35}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 45}]
