__getitem__ is a method builtin to a dict object. itemgetter 1) has to be
imported 2) is more generically used, therefore probably using a more
generic/slower algorithm

Just curious: Is there a reason to use __getitem__() over itemgetter (used in
the example in my reply)?

hello there all,
i am wondering how to sort a dictionary that i have by values.
And i also need to sort them from greatest to least
like if i have a dictionary
d = {'a':21.3, 'b':32.8, 'c': 12.92}
how could i sort these from least to greatest
so that the order would turn out
b,a,c
thanks
