Python – Sort Dictionary by Values Summation

Give a dictionary with value lists, sort the keys by summation of values in value list.

Input : test_dict = {‘Gfg’ : [6, 7, 4], ‘best’ : [7, 6, 5]}
Output : {‘Gfg’: 17, ‘best’: 18}
Explanation : Sorted by sum, and replaced.

Input : test_dict = {‘Gfg’ : [8], ‘best’ : [5]}
Output : {‘best’: 5, ‘Gfg’: 8}
Explanation : Sorted by sum, and replaced.

Method #1 : Using sorted() + dictionary comprehension + sum()

The combination of above functions can be used to solve this problem. In this, we first sum all the list elements using sum() and then next step is to perform sorting of all the keys according to sum extracted using sorted().

# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary is : " + str(test_dict))
  
# summing all the values using sum()
temp1 = {val: sum(int(idx) for idx in key) 
           for val, key in test_dict.items()}
  
# using sorted to perform sorting as required
temp2 = sorted(temp1.items(), key = lambda ele : temp1[ele[0]])
  
# rearrange into dictionary
res = {key: val for key, val in temp2}
          
# printing result 
print("The sorted dictionary : " + str(res))

                        filter_none










Output


The original dictionary is : {'Gfg': [6, 7, 4], 'is': [4, 3, 2], 'best': [7, 6, 5]}
The sorted dictionary : {'is': 9, 'Gfg': 17, 'best': 18}





Method #2 : Using map() + dictionary comprehension + sorted() + sum()


The combination of above functions can be used to solve this problem. In this, we perform the task of mapping the logic of summation using map().
