How to sort over dictionaries

[David Raymond]

Well, that's a list of... somethings. So I'm assuming you mean sort a list of dictionaries?

foo.sort(key = lambda x: time.strptime(x["date"], "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"))

with , reverse = True in the sort if you want it sorted in reverse

Can someone help me out how to sort this dictionary data based on time,
how to arrange the same dictionary in descending order based on time.


Thanks
