Sorting is probably one of the most researched areas of Computer Science, so we won’t dive into the philosophy. It’s normal for me to share a brute force method followed by a couple more elegant methods, so take care to skip ahead if needed. SolutionsĪs always, I like to share many possible solutions. Today, I want to focus on sorting a list of dictionaries. In any case, we always have to start with data processing. For instance, maybe older individuals prefer certain colors, or perhaps younger individuals have certain types of names. That way we could plot them in order of increasing or decreasing age to see if we could spot any trends. In this case, we might want to order our data points by age. Likewise, order of the data might matter. In other words, we have our data, but we might want to use a subset of it. Of course, having the data in a nice format and actually using that data for visualization are very different problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() As mentioned before, I was working on parsing a CSV file for data visualization, and I ended up getting everything I wanted in the following format: csv_mapping_list = [
