Sorting a Dictionary Alphabetically by Key in Odoo 13

When working with dictionaries in Python, particularly in the context of Odoo 13, you might find yourself needing to organize your data in a more manageable way. For instance, if you're collecting orders by client along with their respective products, you may want to present this information in a neatly sorted manner. This guide will guide you through the process of sorting a dictionary alphabetically by its keys, ensuring your data appears organized in any Qweb report you generate.

The Problem: Unsorted Dictionary

Imagine you have a dictionary structured like this:

When you output this dictionary, the clients are displayed in the order they were added rather than alphabetically. This lack of organization can lead to confusion, especially when dealing with a larger dataset in your Odoo application.

The Solution: Sorting the Dictionary

To sort your dictionary alphabetically by client name, you can take advantage of Python’s built-in functions. The right approach allows you to create a new, sorted list of tuples from your original dictionary, which can then be used effectively in your reports.

Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding the sorted() Function: The sorted() function returns a new sorted list from the items in the given iterable. Here, we’ll leverage it to sort dictionary items.

Using a Lambda Function: To sort by keys, we can use a lambda function as the key argument in the sorted() function.

Implementing the Solution: Here's the revised code that achieves alphabetically sorting your dictionary by client name:

In this line of code:

reparto_data.items() fetches all the key-value pairs in your dictionary.

key=lambda x: x[0].lower() sorts these pairs by the first element (the client name), ignoring case sensitivity (lowercasing it ensures 'cliente 2' would still come after 'Cliente 1').

Result

By executing the above code, reparto_data2 will contain a list of tuples sorted alphabetically by client name, allowing you to have your data well-organized for Qweb report generation. The output structure will look like this:

Conclusion

Sorting your dictionary alphabetically by key in Odoo 13 is a simple yet effective strategy to organize client data more clearly. This approach not only enhances the readability of your reports but also ensures a smoother experience when sharing this information with others. Use the code snippet provided above to quickly sort any dictionary and maintain order in your data presentation.
