How to sort a Ruby Hash by number value?
No idea how you got your results, since it would not sort by string value... You should reverse a1
and a2
in your example
Best way in any case (as per Mladen) is:
metrics = {"sitea.com" => 745, "siteb.com" => 9, "sitec.com" => 10 }metrics.sort_by {|_key, value| value} # ==> [["siteb.com", 9], ["sitec.com", 10], ["sitea.com", 745]]
If you need a hash as a result, you can use to_h
(in Ruby 2.0+)
metrics.sort_by {|_key, value| value}.to_h # ==> {"siteb.com" => 9, "sitec.com" => 10, "sitea.com", 745}
