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:

let sortedByValueDictionary = myDictionary.sorted { $0.1 < $1.1 }
