    <p>I am working on a dict in python. I am trying to sort it out alphabetically and split it to look slightly better. Here is the code I have so far in the dictonatary.</p> <pre><code>authorentry = {'author': name, 'date': datef , 'path': path_change , 'msg' : xmlMsgf } if not name in author: author[ name ] = [] author[ name ].append( authorentry ) if not authorentry in author.items(): author['author'] = [authorentry] print sorted (author.keys()), sorted (author.values()) </code></pre> <p>Now what i want it to do is print out the dict in a sorted order based on the author and the date. and also to split it and modified it so it doesn't have all those commas and 'u's if that is possible. Any ideas on how to accomplish it?</p> <p>this is what it looks like when i print it it as it is.</p> <p>how i want is author shows up first in the list not date. And I would like it alphabetical if possible and to remove the commas in the entrys to print it out cleaner. is it possible? </p> <pre><code>[[{'date': ['06-08-2012 09:01:52 PM'], 'path': [u'/branches/Patch_4_2_0_Branch'], 'msg': ['none', u'PATCH_BRANCH:N/A\nBUG_NUMBER:N/A\nFEATURE_AFFECTED:N/A\nOVERVIEW:N/A\nAdding the SVN log size requirement to the branch \n'], 'author': u'glv'}], [{'date': ['06-08-2012 09:01:52 PM'], 'path': [u'/branches/Patch_4_2_0_Branch'], 'msg': ['none', u'PATCH_BRANCH:N/A\nBUG_NUMBER:N/A\nFEATURE_AFFECTED:N/A\nOVERVIEW:N/A\nAdding the SVN log size requirement to the branch \n'], 'author': u'glv'}]] </code></pre> <p>Update: as of right now I can group the authors together but for some reason not only can't i get it alphebetized I cannot even get the author to be the first person on the list what shows up is something similar to this:</p> <pre><code> Date: 06-08-2012 08:56:09 PM Changes by : glv Comments: PATCH_BRANCH:N/A BUG_NUMBER:N/A FEATURE_AFFECTED:N/A OVERVIEW:N/A Adding the svn commit line requrement Directory Location: /trunk </code></pre> <p>The way i wanted it ordered is more like this. </p> <pre><code> Changes by : glv Date: 06-08-2012 08:56:09 PM Directory Location: /trunk Comments: PATCH_BRANCH:N/A BUG_NUMBER:N/A FEATURE_AFFECTED:N/A OVERVIEW:N/A Adding the svn commit line requrement </code></pre> <p>I tried the OrderedList to see if I can get it to work that way but so far no luck or success. Is there something I am missing?</p>

    2. COYou do realise the `u`'s and commas are just part of the syntax to display a dictionary right? You're in charge of printing the elements how you want it... Also - I can see a possible link to XML, but it's not used - and a single dict contains all author names etc... It would help - 1) format your code correctly and 2) show example data

    3. COYou might consider using a class for `authorentry` instead of a dict and implementing the `__str__` method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
