Dictionary Sort by Key in Python

You can easily  sort your dictionary by using collections class in python

Either your key is string or integer, you can sort it.

E.g : Sort Dictionary by key (key in string format)

import collections

dict_data = {'a': 'Anil', 'p': 'pinal', 'c': 'chintan', 'z': 'zinal', 'b': 'Bonil','A':'Atul','h':'Haridk','d':'Dhanvit'}

sorted_dict = collections.OrderedDict(sorted(dict_data.items()))

print "Sorted Dict :::",sorted_dict

O/p : Sorted Dict::: OrderedDict([('A', 'Atul'), ('a', 'Anil'), ('b', 'Bonil'), ('c', 'chintan'), ('d', 'Dhanvit'), ('h', 'Haridk'), ('p', 'pinal'), ('z', 'zinal')])

Returns list of tuples

Same way you can sort your dictionary having integer key.

 dict_data = {2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}

 sorted_dict = collections.OrderedDict(sorted(dict_data.items()))

 print "Sorted Dict :::",sorted_dict
