How to order dict by values

sorted = dict(sorted(unsorted.items(), key=lambda item: item[1]))

• unsorted - source dict to sort
• .items() - returns list of dict key/value tuples
• item[1] - key to sort given list by (values in our case)
• dict( - converts list of key/value tuples back into dict

group: order

Example:

unsorted = {'first': 'b', 'second': 'a'}
sorted = dict(sorted(unsorted.items(), key=lambda item: item[1]))
print(sorted)

{'second': 'a', 'first': 'b'}
