Your question is Sort Users by Activity Level. Start with the requirements on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

The 3DEXPERIENCE mobile app needs to display its most active users first. Given a list of user records, return the records sorted by descending activity count. If two users have the same activity count, order them by ascending user_id for deterministic output.

Return a new list and do not modify the input list.

Formal Specification

Implement sort_users(users), where users is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary contains a string user_id and a non-negative integer activity_count. Return a list containing the same dictionaries in the required order.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(users) <= 10^5
  • user_id is a non-empty string
  • 0 <= activity_count <= 10^9
  • Each user_id is unique
  • The input list must remain unchanged
