Question

I have a list and I am appending a dictionary to it as I loop through my data…and I would like to sort by one of the dictionary keys.

ex:

data = 'data from database' list = [] for x in data:      dict = {'title':title, 'date': x.created_on}      list.append(dict) 

I want to sort the list in reverse order by value of ‘date’

Answer 1

You can do it this way:

list.sort(key=lambda item:item['date'], reverse=True)
