The code I have is:
sAreaOfCountries=sorted(aOfCountries.items(),key=operator.itemgetter(1))
But this sorts from least to greatest. How would I sort from greatest to least?

1Please add a sample of what your dictionary looks like. We can't help you if you don't show your code. – Soviut Dec 04 '18 at 03:04

sorted has an argument called reverse.
sAreaOfCountries=sorted(aOfCountries.items(),key=operator.itemgetter(1),reverse=True)

And if it were a list of dictionaries, sorting them by a value would be ```sorted(all_countries_list, key=lambda d: d["key"], reverse=True)``` – alexexchanges Dec 04 '18 at 03:07
