Answer 1

dict= {'a': [9,2,3,4,5], 'b': [1,2,3,4, 5, 6], 'c': [], 'd': [1,2,3,4], 'e': [1,2]}
dict_temp = {'a': 'hello', 'b': 'bye', 'c': '', 'd': 'aa', 'e': 'zz'}

def sort_by_values_len(dict):
    dict_len= {key: len(value) for key, value in dict.items()}
    import operator
    sorted_key_list = sorted(dict_len.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1), reverse=True)
    sorted_dict = [{item[0]: dict[item [0]]} for item in sorted_key_list]
    return sorted_dict

print (sort_by_values_len(dict))

output:
[{'b': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}, {'a': [9, 2, 3, 4, 5]}, {'d': [1, 2, 3, 4]}, {'e': [1, 2]}, {'c': []}]
