How to sort a dictionary of dictionaries where key is an object?

Question

Python

I have a dictionary like this:

vocabulary

  }
}

how do i filter it by name field? tried like this:

sorted_account_dicts = sorted(account_dicts, key=lambda x: account_dicts[x].get('name', float('inf')))
sorted_account_dicts = sorted(account_dicts, key=itemgetter('name'))
sorted_account_dicts = sorted(account_dicts.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]['name'], reverse=False)

writes everywhere:
QWebException: "list indices must be integers, not tuple" while evaluating "data_vals['account_dicts'][account]
"

<t t-foreach="data_vals['account_dicts']" t-as="account">
                        <t t-set="account_dict" t-value="data_vals['account_dicts'][account]"/>
                        <tr style="height: 15px; font-size: 6pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; vertical-align: top;">
                            <td style="font-size: 7pt; text-align: left;">
                                <span t-esc="account['code']"/>
                            </td>
                            <td style="font-size: 7pt; text-align: left;">
                                <span t-esc="account['name']"/>
                            </td>
                             ... other code...

Answer 1

the problem was solved like this:

from collections import OrderedDict

....

sorted_account_dicts = OrderedDict(sorted(account_dicts.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]['name'], reverse=False))
