Order list of Json object by value using python

Question

I have this Json object that I created using json dumps:

  data.append({"word":word,'list':list , "count":count})

  value=json.dumps({"data":data })

 {"data": [{"count": 1, "word": "bob", "list": [1]}, {"count": 10, "word": "lola", "list": [2,7]}]}

I want to order this object according to "count", and have instead this output:

 {"data": [{"count": 1O, "word": "lola", "list": [2,7]}, {"count": 1, "word": "bob", "list": [2]}]}

Any help on how to order this type of objects? I have already tried this solution: How to get sorted list inside a dictionary with json.dumps() from Martijn Pieters, but it orders the list according to 'list' not count.

Thank you in advance

Simply sort data based on 'count' and then pass it to json.dumps(). — Ashwini Chaudhary

Replace the line

value=json.dumps({"data":data })

with

value = json.dumps({'data': sorted(data, key=lambda x: x['count'], reverse=True)})

You should get

{"data": [{"count": 10, "list": [2, 7], "word": "lola"}, {"count": 1, "list": [1], "word": "bob"}]}
