This was a helpful tutorial! But I have a question: what if I wanted to sort a dictionary FIRST by population, THEN alphabetically(essentially combing your sortedByKey and sortedByValue dictionaries), so the same dictionary but multiple search criteria within the dictionary.

"I hope you guys found this video useful", surely I did, been trying to do this for a while lol

Why did you say that v[1] is the population? Isn't v itself the population variable? and K the keys variable. By your logic, v[0] contains keys. It is confusing me a bit.

Edit: Now I get it. The v[ ] in the sorted() and v in the for loop are different. But why did you use the lambda functions. I didn't understand how the lambda function works here as its just lambda v[1 ]. Is it the parameter youre passing into the key = ?

How to sort dictionary by key and value? For example I have a dictionary with string key and int value. How will I sort it by value in descending order and when a values are equal it will sort by key in descending order. Thanks.

How to just print Population no Country Name Only Population ?

[bronsonalexander]

Hey not sure if this relates but i have a question if i wanted to only print out values that were greater than from the dictionary how would you do that?

[Harish-rbqd]

Hii, I have an issue.
I'm trying to sort by values in a dictionary and I used your method and it worked when I used the print statement to output the results but when I call the variable in which I store the sorted dictionary just like "SortedByVal" in your example without print statement I'm not getting the result in the sorted format.
Could you please tell me the reason??

[isabellavanstedum]

can someone show me what it looks like without dictionary comprehension for value

[christovanwyk]

If there was a huge dictionary how can I make the sorting faster or is this the fastest way for the processor to sort the data?
