How to sort the dictionary values by length and key(both)?

D={0:'123###',1:'xyzcom',2:'aBcD',3:'sdgfhfhh',4:'xydhdg'} I want this to be like D={3:'sdgfhfhh',0:'123###',1:'xyzcom',4:'xydhdg'}

I think this could be what you achieve: It's sorted by 2 criteria: first: length of value descending, second: value dic={0:'123###',1:'xyzcom',2:'aBcD',3:'sdgfhfhh',4:'xydhdg'} print(*sorted(dic.items(), key = lambda i : (-len(i[1]), i[1]))) # output: (3, 'sdgfhfhh'), (0, '123###'), (4, 'xydhdg'), (1, 'xyzcom'), (2, 'aBcD')

I have to print both index and value. If I sort the value alone, I will not know the index

Yes thanks for your help. I needed to print the first value. I modified your code. Can you tell is there any other way to do this? https://code.sololearn.com/cKaZ5XZVMFkW/?ref=app
