我有一个从数据库中两个字段读取的值字典:字符串字段和数字字段。字符串字段是唯一的,因此它是字典的关键字。

我可以按关键字排序,但如何根据值排序?

注意:我在这里读过堆栈溢出问题。如何根据字典的值对字典列表进行排序?并且可能会更改我的代码,使其具有字典列表,但由于我确实不需要字典列表,我想知道是否有更简单的解决方案来按升序或降序排序。


当前回答

您可以使用:

sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])

这将根据字典中每个条目的值从最小到最大对字典进行排序。

要按降序排序,只需添加reverse=True:

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

输入:

d = {'one':1,'three':3,'five':5,'two':2,'four':4}
a = sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])    
print(a)

输出:

[('one', 1), ('two', 2), ('three', 3), ('four', 4), ('five', 5)]

其他回答

如果值是数字,则还可以使用集合中的计数器。

from collections import Counter

x = {'hello': 1, 'python': 5, 'world': 3}
c = Counter(x)
print(c.most_common())

>> [('python', 5), ('world', 3), ('hello', 1)]    

您还可以创建“反向索引”

from collections import defaultdict
inverse= defaultdict( list )
for k, v in originalDict.items():
    inverse[v].append( k )

现在你的逆函数有了值;每个值都有一个适用的键列表。

for k in sorted(inverse):
    print k, inverse[k]
months = {"January": 31, "February": 28, "March": 31, "April": 30, "May": 31,
          "June": 30, "July": 31, "August": 31, "September": 30, "October": 31,
          "November": 30, "December": 31}

def mykey(t):
    """ Customize your sorting logic using this function.  The parameter to
    this function is a tuple.  Comment/uncomment the return statements to test
    different logics.
    """
    return t[1]              # sort by number of days in the month
    #return t[1], t[0]       # sort by number of days, then by month name
    #return len(t[0])        # sort by length of month name
    #return t[0][-1]         # sort by last character of month name


# Since a dictionary can't be sorted by value, what you can do is to convert
# it into a list of tuples with tuple length 2.
# You can then do custom sorts by passing your own function to sorted().
months_as_list = sorted(months.items(), key=mykey, reverse=False)

for month in months_as_list:
    print month

与汉克·盖伊的回答大致相同:

sorted([(value,key) for (key,value) in mydict.items()])

或者根据John Fouchy的建议进行略微优化:

sorted((value,key) for (key,value) in mydict.items())

使用Python 3.5

虽然我发现公认的答案很有用,但我也感到惊讶的是,它还没有更新,以引用标准库集合模块中的OrderedDict作为一种可行的现代替代方案-旨在解决这类问题。

from operator import itemgetter
from collections import OrderedDict

x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = OrderedDict(sorted(x.items(), key=itemgetter(1)))
# OrderedDict([(0, 0), (2, 1), (1, 2), (4, 3), (3, 4)])

官方OrderedDict文档也提供了一个非常类似的示例,但使用lambda作为排序函数:

# regular unsorted dictionary
d = {'banana': 3, 'apple':4, 'pear': 1, 'orange': 2}

# dictionary sorted by value
OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
# OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])
