sort the dictionary in python by R4R Team

-Here we try to sort the dictionary data according to the keys.

Example-

dictionary is {'c':1,'a':4,'z':2}
then after sort dictionary become {'a':4,'c':1,'z':2}


program-

#import the OrderedDict from collections module
from collections import OrderedDict

#given unsorted dictionary
d={'b':3,'a':2,'c':4,'d':1}
print("Dictionary is:",d)

#sort according to keys of dictionary
x=OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
print("After sort by key, dictionary is")
print(x)

Dictionary is: {'b': 3, 'a': 2, 'c': 4, 'd': 1}
After sort by key, dictionary is
OrderedDict([('a', 2), ('b', 3), ('c', 4), ('d', 1)])
