this is part of my json file I want to sort OVR on many of the players **

i.sorted(key=ovr, reverse=True)

CodePudding user response：

By usong the sorted function you can use a function to specify what you want to sort by.

Since your question is unclear I'll assume that you have a list of dictionaries like in the example you posted in your question. We'll call that list: data["players"] since that's where it seems to be in your JSON.

Then you can sort that list via:

sorted_players = sorted(data["players"], key=lambda x: x["draft"]["ovr"])

Let me know if that works for you.
