I have a dictionary that looks like: d = {k:[v1,[v2,v3,v4]]}v1,v2,v3,v4 are integers. I want to print the dictionary sorted by v1, high to low. sorted(d,operator.itemgetter(0),reverse=True)
You need to pass a compare function in... try for ii in sorted(d,lambda ii,jj: cmp(d[jj][0],d[ii][0])): d[ii] HTH, Emile
gives me the keys in some order different than if I just looped through the dictionary and not in key order but also not in any order that I can see. It really appears random. sorted(d) does give me a sorted list of keys. How do I sort on v1? How would I sort on v3?
