How can I sort a list of dictionaries in Python by multiple keys?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about advanced sorting techniques in Python.
How can I sort a list of dictionaries in Python by multiple keys?
You can use the sorted() function with a custom key. For example, sorted(list_of_dicts, key=lambda x: (x['key1'], x['key2'])).
What if I want to sort in descending order for one of the keys?
You can modify the lambda function to use -x['key'] for descending order. For example: sorted(list_of_dicts, key=lambda x: (x['key1'], -x['key2'])).
Can I sort by a key that has a string value?
Yes, sorting by string values works the same way. Just ensure the strings are in a format that can be compared.
Is there a way to sort in place without creating a new list?
Yes, you can use the sort() method on the list itself: list_of_dicts.sort(key=lambda x: (x['key1'], x['key2'])).
