You can use sorted() and pass a key to denote that you want to sort by the age value in each dict.

data = [{"age":10,"name":"a"},{"age":11,"name":"b"},{"age":10,"name":"c"},{"age":11,"name":"d"}]

sorted_by_age = sorted(data, key=lambda x: x['age'])
print(sorted_by_age)

#[{'age': 10, 'name': 'a'}, {'age': 10, 'name': 'c'}, {'age': 11, 'name': 'b'}, {'age': 11, 'name': 'd'}]
