How to use sorted() method In Python

Using this method we can sort the dictionary of tuples based on keys, values, and items, we can use for loop to sort all elements in a dictionary of tuples.

Syntax:

To sort based on items:
for i in sorted(dictionary.items()) :
     print(i, end = " ")

To sort based on keys:
for i in sorted(dictionary.keys()) :
     print(i, end = " ") 
     
To sort based on values:
for i in sorted(dictionary.values()) :
     print(i, end = " ")           

Example 1:

Output:

(‘student1’, (‘bhanu’, 10)) (‘student2’, (‘ravi’, 11)) (‘student3’, (‘suma’, 11)) (‘student4’, (‘uma’, 12)) (‘student5’, (‘gayatri’, 9)) 

(‘bhanu’, 10) (‘gayatri’, 9) (‘ravi’, 11) (‘suma’, 11) (‘uma’, 12) 

student1 student2 student3 student4 student5

We can make a dictionary of tuple with key as tuple also.

Example 2:

Python program to create a dictionary of tuple with a tuple as key and apply sorted() function

Output:

((‘bhanu’, 10), ‘student1’) ((‘gayatri’, 9), ‘student5’) ((‘ravi’, 11), ‘student2’) ((‘suma’, 11), ‘student3’) ((‘uma’, 12), ‘student4’) 

student1 student2 student3 student4 student5 

(‘bhanu’, 10) (‘gayatri’, 9) (‘ravi’, 11) (‘suma’, 11) (‘uma’, 12)

In this article, we will sort a dictionary of tuples. Dictionary of tuples means tuple is a value in a dictionary or tuple is key in the dictionary.

Example:

{'key1': (1, 2, 3), 'key2': (3, 2, 1),.............}
or
{ (1, 2, 3):value, (3, 2, 1):value,.............}
