Creating a dictionary another sorted dictionary out of this code on Python thanks

Question

So I already have everything done, however. I cannot figure out how to make a sorted dictionary out of the dictionary I have created. This dictionary should have the team that won the most games as 1st and so on.

This was the first dictionary I created img of dictionary

I have attempted sorted_wins = sorted(matches_won[team].items(), key=lambda pair: pair[1], reverse=True)

but I keep getting met with an: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'items'

fp = open("C:/Users/Owner/Documents/WorldSeries.txt", "r")

matches = {}

matches_won = {}

year = 1903

for team in fp.readlines():

    team = team.strip()

    matches[year] = team

    if team not in matches_won:

        matches_won[team] = 0

    matches_won[team]+=1

    year += 1

fp.close()
sorted_wins = sorted(matches_won[team].items(), key=lambda pair: pair[1], reverse=True)
for team in matches_won:

    print(team,":",matches_won[team])

again = "Y"

while again=="Y":

    year = int(input("\n Enter a year in the range of 1903 through 2019: "))

    if(year>=1903 and year<=2017):

        print(matches[year], "team won match in",year)
        print(matches_won[team])

else:

    print("Invalid year")

again = input("\nWant to continue playing?(Y - yes, N - no): ").upper()

Trying to approaches that I've gotten I still only have this dictionary

Dictionary

This is the dictionary:

matches_won = {'Boston Americans' : 1,
'World Series Not Played in 1904' : 1,
'New York Giants' : 5,
'Chicago White Sox' : 3,
'Chicago Cubs' : 3,
'Pittsburgh Pirates' : 5,
'Philadelphia Athletics' : 5,
'Boston Red Sox' : 8,
'Boston Braves' : 1,
'Cincinnati Reds' : 5,
'Cleveland Indians' : 2,
'New York Yankees' : 27,
'Washington Senators' : 1,
'St. Louis Cardinals' : 11,
'Detroit Tigers' : 4,
'Brooklyn Dodgers' : 1,
'Milwaukee Braves' : 1,
'Los Angeles Dodgers' : 5,
'Baltimore Orioles' : 3,
'New York Mets' : 2,
'Oakland Athletics' : 4,
'Philadelphia Phillies' : 2,
'Kansas City Royals' : 2,
'Minnesota Twins' : 2,
'Toronto Blue Jays' : 2,
'World Series Not Played in 1994' : 1,
'Atlanta Braves' : 1,
'Florida Marlins' : 2,
'Arizona Diamondbacks' : 1,
'Anaheim Angels' : 1,
'San Francisco Giants' : 3,
'Houston Astros' : 1,
'Washington Nationals' : 1}

@JoshuaVarghese Just included a link to the dictionary that I created — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:26
Yes, so I wanted that dictionary to be sorted by the team that won the most World Series to the team that won the least. @JoshuaVarghese — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:29
How can you make a sorted dictionary, Dictionaries are intrinsically unsorted. Displaying the dictionary is another matter. — nsrCodes, Apr 20 '20 at 02:38
It's not giving me the "Attribute error" anymore, but it did not give me the sorted dictionary. — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:39
http://prntscr.com/s2kzn3 This is what I'm getting. Unless I placed the code in the wrong place. — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:41
@JoshuaVarghese You might be right but I am trying to find evidence of that online but just can't. I understand you can remember the sequence of the order but you can't order the list. Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9001509/how-can-i-sort-a-dictionary-by-key . Am I missing something? — nsrCodes, Apr 20 '20 at 02:47
I see there's another approach. I'll try that. As for copying and pasting the dictionary. You want me to paste it in my original post...? And yes they are integers. — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:48
ya, posting the dictionary helps us be sure of the output :) — Joshua Varghese, Apr 20 '20 at 02:48
@KDAssignments if my matches_won is same as the matches_won you have, then this works :) — Joshua Varghese, Apr 20 '20 at 02:50
Just posted it (last image link labeled as "Dictionary"). I think it may not be working because of where I put it in my code. Want to see? @JoshuaVarghese — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:53
is your matches_won same as the Matches_won i've given in my answer? — Joshua Varghese, Apr 20 '20 at 02:55
@KDAssignments the dictionary is an image :) i cant copy that to work :) — Joshua Varghese, Apr 20 '20 at 02:56
ahhh sorry, my code is missing the portion when I inputed a plain text file from my computer which was the list used to create a dictionary. I sincerely apologize. I need to edit it. Also yes my matches won is the same. @JoshuaVarghese — KD Assignments, Apr 20 '20 at 02:56
@KDAssignments is my correction correct it into a dictionary you have? — Joshua Varghese, Apr 20 '20 at 03:07

Lets assume :

 matches_won = {'Boston Americans' : 1,
'World Series Not Played in 1904' : 1,
'New York Giants' : 5,
'Chicago White Sox' : 3,
'Chicago Cubs' : 3,
'Pittsburgh Pirates' : 5,
'Philadelphia Athletics' : 5,
'Boston Red Sox' : 8,
'Boston Braves' : 1,
'Cincinnati Reds' : 5,
'Cleveland Indians' : 2,
'New York Yankees' : 27,
'Washington Senators' : 1,
'St. Louis Cardinals' : 11,
'Detroit Tigers' : 4,
'Brooklyn Dodgers' : 1,
'Milwaukee Braves' : 1,
'Los Angeles Dodgers' : 5,
'Baltimore Orioles' : 3,
'New York Mets' : 2,
'Oakland Athletics' : 4,
'Philadelphia Phillies' : 2,
'Kansas City Royals' : 2,
'Minnesota Twins' : 2,
'Toronto Blue Jays' : 2,
'World Series Not Played in 1994' : 1,
'Atlanta Braves' : 1,
'Florida Marlins' : 2,
'Arizona Diamondbacks' : 1,
'Anaheim Angels' : 1,
'San Francisco Giants' : 3,
'Houston Astros' : 1,
'Washington Nationals' : 1}

is the dictionary to be sorted is descending order by value.
Then:

sorted_wins = {i:matches_won[i] for i in sorted(matches_won,key = lambda x:matches_won[x],reverse = True)}

or, another approach is:

dict(sorted(matches_won.items(), key=lambda item: item[1],reverse = True))

this gives:

{'New York Yankees': 27,
'St. Louis Cardinals': 11, 
'Boston Red Sox': 8, 
'New York Giants': 5, 
'Pittsburgh Pirates': 5, 
'Philadelphia Athletics': 5, 
'Cincinnati Reds': 5, 
'Los Angeles Dodgers': 5, 
'Detroit Tigers': 4, 
'Oakland Athletics': 4, 
'Chicago White Sox': 3, 
'Chicago Cubs': 3, 
'Baltimore Orioles': 3, 
'San Francisco Giants': 3, 
'Cleveland Indians': 2, 
'New York Mets': 2, 
'Philadelphia Phillies': 2, 
'Kansas City Royals': 2, 
'Minnesota Twins': 2, 
'Toronto Blue Jays': 2, 
'Florida Marlins': 2, 
'Boston Americans': 1, 
'World Series Not Played in 1904': 1, 
'Boston Braves': 1, 
'Washington Senators': 1, 
'Brooklyn Dodgers': 1, 
'Milwaukee Braves': 1, 
'World Series Not Played in 1994': 1, 
'Atlanta Braves': 1, 
'Arizona Diamondbacks': 1, 
'Anaheim Angels': 1, 
'Houston Astros': 1, 
'Washington Nationals': 1}

The last approach could just be `dict(sorted(matches_won.items(), key=lambda item: item[1]))` — RoadRunner, Apr 20 '20 at 02:43
