【Python notes】Sort Python dict by datetime value

I have a Python dictionary like this:

{
   'apple': datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 20, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>),
   'orange': datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 4, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>),
   'raspberry': datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 9, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)
}

Solution:

sorted(dct.items(), key=lambda p: p[1], reverse=True)

Output:

=> [('raspberry', datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 9, 0, 0)),
    ('apple', datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 20, 0, 0)),
    ('orange', datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 4, 0, 0))]
