您可以使用以下选项：

lst = [{'name': 'Homer', 'age': 39}, {'name': 'Bart', 'age': 10}]
sorted_lst = sorted(lst, key=lambda x: x['age']) # change this to sort by a different field
print(sorted_lst)

有时我们需要使用lower（）进行不区分大小写的排序。例如

lists = [{'name':'Homer', 'age':39},
  {'name':'Bart', 'age':10},
  {'name':'abby', 'age':9}]

lists = sorted(lists, key=lambda k: k['name'])
print(lists)
# Bart, Homer, abby
# [{'name':'Bart', 'age':10}, {'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'abby', 'age':9}]

lists = sorted(lists, key=lambda k: k['name'].lower())
print(lists)
# abby, Bart, Homer
# [ {'name':'abby', 'age':9}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10}, {'name':'Homer', 'age':39}]

您可以使用自定义比较函数，也可以传入计算自定义排序键的函数。这通常更有效，因为每个项只计算一次键，而比较函数将被调用多次。

你可以这样做：

def mykey(adict): return adict['name']
x = [{'name': 'Homer', 'age': 39}, {'name': 'Bart', 'age':10}]
sorted(x, key=mykey)

但是标准库包含一个获取任意对象项的通用例程：itemgetter。因此，请尝试以下操作：

from operator import itemgetter
x = [{'name': 'Homer', 'age': 39}, {'name': 'Bart', 'age':10}]
sorted(x, key=itemgetter('name'))

import operator
a_list_of_dicts.sort(key=operator.itemgetter('name'))

“key”用于按任意值排序，“itemgetter”将该值设置为每个项的“name”属性。

sorted（）函数接受key=参数

newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=lambda d: d['name']) 

或者，您可以使用operator.itemgetter而不是自己定义函数

from operator import itemgetter
newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=itemgetter('name')) 

为完整起见，添加reverse=True以降序排序

newlist = sorted(list_to_be_sorted, key=itemgetter('name'), reverse=True)

使用Pandas包是另一种方法，尽管其大规模运行时比其他人提出的更传统的方法慢得多：

import pandas as pd

listOfDicts = [{'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10}]
df = pd.DataFrame(listOfDicts)
df = df.sort_values('name')
sorted_listOfDicts = df.T.to_dict().values()

下面是一个小列表和一个大（100k+）的字典列表的一些基准值：

setup_large = "listOfDicts = [];\
[listOfDicts.extend(({'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10})) for _ in range(50000)];\
from operator import itemgetter;import pandas as pd;\
df = pd.DataFrame(listOfDicts);"

setup_small = "listOfDicts = [];\
listOfDicts.extend(({'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10}));\
from operator import itemgetter;import pandas as pd;\
df = pd.DataFrame(listOfDicts);"

method1 = "newlist = sorted(listOfDicts, key=lambda k: k['name'])"
method2 = "newlist = sorted(listOfDicts, key=itemgetter('name')) "
method3 = "df = df.sort_values('name');\
sorted_listOfDicts = df.T.to_dict().values()"

import timeit
t = timeit.Timer(method1, setup_small)
print('Small Method LC: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method2, setup_small)
print('Small Method LC2: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method3, setup_small)
print('Small Method Pandas: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))

t = timeit.Timer(method1, setup_large)
print('Large Method LC: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method2, setup_large)
print('Large Method LC2: ' + str(t.timeit(100)))
t = timeit.Timer(method3, setup_large)
print('Large Method Pandas: ' + str(t.timeit(1)))
