Sort Dictionary by values in Swift

Question

Is there are analog of - (NSArray *)keysSortedByValueUsingSelector:(SEL)comparator in swift?

How to do this without casting to NSDictionary?

I tried this, but it seems to be not a good solution.

var values = Array(dict.values) values.sort({     $0 > $1     })  for number in values {     for (key, value) in dict {         if value == number {             println(key + " : \(value)");             dict.removeValueForKey(key);             break         }     } } 

Example:

var dict = ["cola" : 10, "fanta" : 12, "sprite" : 8] dict.sortedKeysByValues(>) // fanta (12), cola(10), sprite(8)

Just one line code to sort dictionary by Values in Swift 4, 4.2 and Swift 5:
