Question

lets say i have something like this

{
    "TestData1": {
        "record_object_data": [
        {
            "name": "TestData",
            "label": "TestData",
            "meaning_label": "TestData",

            "layouts": {

            }
        }
    ]
    }

}

how can i move or sort the records with "default_record_type_layout": true to become first record in the record_object_data list?

in this list every TestData from 1-3 will have a list of record_object_data which inside will have a default_record_type_layout true/false

i would like to sort record_object_data with default_record_type_layout = true to the first record for every TestData1-3

for key,val in data.items():
    val["record_object_data"].sort( key=lambda k: not k['default_record_type_layout'] )

We have to use not because False normally sorts before True.
