**To sort a dictionary by value in Python, you can use the sorted() function along with a lambda function to specify that the sorting needs to be done based on the values of the dictionary. Here’s an example code snippet to demonstrate this:**<\/p>\n

“`python
\nmy_dict = {‘a’: 4, ‘b’: 3, ‘c’: 2, ‘d’: 1}
\nsorted_dict = dict(sorted(my_dict.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]))
\nprint(sorted_dict)
\n“`<\/p>\n

This will output:
\n“`python
\n{‘d’: 1, ‘c’: 2, ‘b’: 3, ‘a’: 4}
\n“`<\/p>\n

This code sorts the dictionary `my_dict` based on its values in ascending order and stores the result in the `sorted_dict` dictionary.<\/p>\n
