按值对字典排序

Question

I have a code for the Euros that shows the tables and fixtures etc. With the tables, I have them stored in a json file in a set order that doesn't change, like this:

    "Table": {
      "Italy": {
        "Played": 0,
        "Won": 0,
        "Draw": 0,
        "Lost": 0,
        "PF": 0,
        "PA": 0,
        "PD": 0,
        "Points": 0
      },
      "Switzerland": {
        "Played": 0,
        "Won": 0,
        "Draw": 0,
        "Lost": 0,
        "PF": 0,
        "PA": 0,
        "PD": 0,
        "Points": 0
      },
      "Turkey": {
        "Played": 0,
        "Won": 0,
        "Draw": 0,
        "Lost": 0,
        "PF": 0,
        "PA": 0,
        "PD": 0,
        "Points": 0
      },
      "Wales": {
        "Played": 0,
        "Won": 0,
        "Draw": 0,
        "Lost": 0,
        "PF": 0,
        "PA": 0,
        "PD": 0,
        "Points": 0
      }
    }

I want to be able to sort the teams by the amount of points they have, or the points difference if the points are the same. Ive looked at Python: sorting dictionary of dictionaries and other related questions and still not been able to figure out how it is possible, any help please?

Answer 1

As said in another thread, you can't sort a dictionary because it is how it works , the workaround here would be to create list of dicts like this, but still, it's pain to work with it and you lose advantages of dictionary

table = [
{"Italy": {...}},
{"Switzerland": {...}},
...
{"Wales": {...}},
]

And another workaround will be to create OrderedDict, but it's already explained in the link in your question
