I have a dictionary with the following format
dic={759147': 54, '186398060': 8, '199846203': 42, '191725321': 10, '158947719': 4}
I'd like to know if there's any way to sort it by value and print it on the screen. So the output is.
'158947719': 4
'186398060': 8
'191725321': 10
'199846203': 42
'759147': 54
You can use the sorted() function:
dic = {'759147': 54, '186398060': 8, '199846203': 42, '191725321': 10, '158947719': 4}
for item in sorted(dic, key = dic.get):
print (dic[item])
See working on ideone and on CodingGround .
Just a detail, the most correct term would be classifying the dictionary .
A dictionary in python has no order, in most cases it does not make sense to keep the order of the dictionary items.
However, OrderedDict ( also in python 2 ).
Alternatively you can sort a list with the keys and access the values in the order of that list.
