How to sort a dictionary by values which contain lists in python

Question

I have this dictionary:

Dict = {'Key1': ['LONG', 1], 'Key3': ['LONG', 7], 'Key4': ['LONG_A', 9]}

Each value of the dictionary contains a tuple with a string and an int value. I would like to sort this dictionary by the int value (in descending order).

The result should be:

Expected = {'Key4': ['LONG_A', 9],'Key3': ['LONG', 7],'Key1': ['LONG', 1]}

Answer 1

Sorted in python

Use this code:

sorted(Dict.items(), key=lambda x: x[1][1],reverse=True)

Output:

[('Key4', ['LONG_A', 9]), ('Key3', ['LONG', 7]), ('Key1', ['LONG', 1])]
