I am working with a large dictionary (500+ keys) that has as its values 2 dictionaries (that have as their values numerics) and two lists (one of numerics with length=~10, one of bools with length=~50). I would like to get some sort of representation, be it a list or tuple, that sorts the original dictionary by one of the numeric values inside of one of the inner dictionaries. Is there a way to do this?
For reference, here is a single entry for key 'WHR' from the (large) dictionary I am working with:
dd_rf['WHR'] = {'counts': {'num': 81.0,
'numClassCorrect': 64,
'numClassDown': 20,
'numClassDownCorrect': 20,
'numClassIncorrect': 17.0,
'numClassUp': 61,
'numClassUpCorrect': 44,
'numDown': 37,
'numUp': 44},
'imp': array([ 0.50924113, 0.06348138, 0.07851569, 0.03005051, 0.04103215,
0.05646218, 0.03682958, 0.03642228, 0.04282599, 0.01439416,
0.03090185, 0.0598431 ]),
'rates': {'correctDownRate': 1.0,
'correctRate': 0.7901234567901234,
'correctUpRate': 0.7213114754098361,
'downRate': 0.4567901234567901,
'upRate': 0.5432098765432098},
'results': array([False, False, True, True, True, True, False, False, True,
False, True, True, False, False, True, False, True, True,
True, True, True, True, True, True, True, False, False,
True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True,
True, False, True, False, False, True, True, True, True,
True, True, True, True, False, True, False, True, True,
True, True, True, False, False, False, True, True, True,
True, True, True, True, True, True, True, False, True,
True, True, False, True, True, True, True, True, True], dtype=bool)}
So, in the context of my work, I would like to sort the entire dictionary 'dd_rf' by the values of 'dd_rf[key]['rates']['correctRate'] in descending order. The value corresponding to the given sort criteria in the above example is 'correctRate': 0.7901234567901234.
Thanks! Please let me know if I can provide any more background information.
