Sort list by multiple keys and directions

mangosort: Sort list by multiple keys and directions

mangosort is a small module that helps you sort lists of dictionaries by multiple keys

Hot to use

Sort by multiple directions:

To sort by different directions at same time you need to pass a list of dictionaries with keys you want to order and values asc or desc.

from mangosort import mangosort

my_list =  [{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}, 
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 2},
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}]

mangosort.sort_by_key(my_list, [{'code': 'desc'}, {'number': 'asc'}])

[{'code': 'delta', 'number': 2}, 
{'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}, 
{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}]

If you need or prefer to pass bool, in this case, think reverse True(desc) or False(asc).

# Reverse True or False
mangosort.sort_by_key(my_list, [{'code': True}, {'number': 0}])

[{'code': 'delta', 'number': 2}, 
{'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}, 
{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}]

Sort ASC:

from mangosort import mangosort

my_list =  [{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}, 
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 2},
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}]
mangosort.sort_by_key_asc(my_list, ['code', 'number'])

[{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}, 
{'code': 'delta', 'number': 2}, 
{'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}]

Sort DESC:

from mangosort import mangosort

my_list =  [{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}, 
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 2},
            {'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}]
mangosort.sort_by_key_asc(my_list, ['code', 'number'])

[{'code': 'delta', 'number': 3}, 
{'code': 'delta', 'number': 2}, 
{'code': 'beta', 'number': 3}]
