I was able to accomplish what I needed with the following. PR = "PrivateRoads" CityLimits = 'City_Limits' arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(PR, "polyLyr") arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(CityLimits, "CitLyr") unique_strings = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor("CitLyr", 'CITY') as cursor: for row in cursor: unique_strings.append(row[0]) #print (unique_strings) for unique in unique_strings: arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("CitLyr", 'NEW_SELECTION', "CITY = '{}'".format(unique)) arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("polyLyr", 'HAVE_THEIR_CENTER_IN', "CitLyr", "", "NEW_SELECTION") with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(PR, 'Owner') as cursor: for row in cursor: row[0] = unique cursor.updateRow(row)   ...

I tried the following but the print only prints one of the cities and for some reason it's populates only a a few private roads that are not inside city limits. Some of these will not be in a city.   I honestly thought it would simple and  wouldn't' involve .keys or dicts.     import sys, os, arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True workspace = "C:/temp/temp.gdb" PR = "PrivateRoads" CityLimits = 'City_Limits' arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(PR, "polyLyr") arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(CityLimits, "CitLyr") arcpy.management.SelectLayerByLocation("polyLyr", "HAVE_THEIR_CENTER_IN", "CitLyr", "", "NEW_SELECTION") pr_oid_to_city_name = dict() # Add code here to use a search cursor to scan the polyLyr and # populate the dict that maps the pr OID to the city name with arcpy.da.SearchCursor("CitLyr", ['OID@', 'CITY']) as search_cursor: for oid, city_name in search_cursor: pr_oid_to_city_name[oid] = city_name print(pr_oid_to_city_name[oid]) # Start an edit session. Must provide the workspace. edit = arcpy.da.Editor(workspace) # Edit session is started without an undo/redo stack for versioned data # (for the second argument, use False for unversioned data) edit.startEditing(True) # Start an edit operation edit.startOperation() fields = ['OID@', 'Owner'] with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(PR, fields) as cursor: for row in cursor: oid = row[0] if oid in pr_oid_to_city_name: row[1] = pr_oid_to_city_name[oid] cursor.updateRow(row) edit.stopOperation() # Stop the edit session and save the changes edit.stopEditing(True)         ...

I tried to incorporate you suggestion, but I ran into an issue with the Global ID. At least I believe that is the issue. TypeError: sequence size must match size of the row.       import arcpy, os project = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") arcpy.env.workspace = os.path.dirname(project.filePath) wp = os.path.dirname(project.filePath) outPath = r'C:\Temp\Scratchworkspace.gdb' scr = 'SUBS' sortedTableName = 'SUBS_ordered' arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer("SUBS", "memory\SubsLyr") arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("SUBS", "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", "SUBJECT_PROPERTY", "1 Mile", "NEW_SELECTION") arcpy.analysis.Select("SUBS", r"memory/SubLayer1") #--check if output feature class exists, if not, create it if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(outPath,sortedTableName)): out_fc = arcpy.management.CreateFeatureclass(outPath,out_name="SUBS_ordered", template=scr) else: try: arcpy.DeleteRows_management(os.path.join(outPath,"SUBS_ordered")) except: pass source_fc = r"memory/SubLayer1" sort_field_name = "SUB_NAME" source_fc_fields = [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(scr)] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(source_fc, "*", sql_clause=(None, f"ORDER BY {sort_field_name}")) as s_cursor: with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(sortedTableName, "*") as i_cursor: for row in s_cursor: i_cursor.insertRow(row)       The "SUBS" is in SDE geodatabase and has GlobalID . The "SUBS_ordered" in a file geodatabase doesn't have a GlobalID. How can I leave out the GlobalID or other fields?   The other difference between the two is. SubLayer1: Shape_STArea__ , Shape_STLength__ SUBS_ordered : Shape_Area, Shape_Length   ... View more

Sorry, it derived from a feature class in a geodatabase. I preform a selection by location, then I export the selected features to the shapefile. ... View more

I will take your advice and create it in a geodatabase. ... View more

I need a shapfile with geometry. ... View more

That .dbf of that shapefile is using in a different reporting system. I was trying to save having to manually sort every time the .dbf is used. I run this reporting once a day or sometimes more often. ... View more

Blake, this is helpful but it doesn't physically change the order of the SUB_NAME field. I have the following and it does sort the SUB_NAME field of the  shapefile but somehow it spatially moves the features, not sure why. Would it best to place this shapefile in to a file geodatabase? fc = 'C:\Temp\SUBS.shp' datatosort = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc,"*") as cursor: for row in cursor: datatosort.append(row) subindex = 2 rowindex = 0 datatosort.sort(key=lambda tup: tup[subindex]) with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc,"*") as cursor: for row in cursor: row = datatosort[rowindex] rowindex += 1 cursor.updateRow(row)   ...

Sorry for the delayed response, I got caught up on on something else. I ran you code and I see, or at least I think I do. Maybe I didn't explain well what I am trying to do. Maybe I am not going about it the correct way? The  "States" field of the StSele layer will always most likely be blank. I need the States field updated, like so. if StSele "State" field is empty/blank, check sjpoints (spatialjoin)--> if sjpints field "State_1" has "Ala" I need StSele layer field "States" updated with "Alaska. Again StSele "State" field will most likely be empty or blank. My first table example was wrong, my apologies. attributes after spatial join. StStates Layer   StSele layer   Spaital Join           State   State   State_1 OR       Org Ala       Ala Cal       Cal Wa       Wa   What I need the StStates Layer   StSele layer   Spaital Join           State   State   State_1 OR   Oregon   Org Ala   Alaska   Ala Cal   California   Cal Wa   Washington   Wa   ...

I guess I am confused. I thought that .get would get the place_dict value, e.g,  Alabama, Alaska etc. There is empty/ blanks in the StSel layers "State"  field,which is why I am trying to update, and  which is why I lift out ' if row[0] in place_dict.keys()' I was able to do what I needed by the following, but I would like to know how to dictionary keys and and dictionary values e.g. [0]     import arcpy, os,sys ## Works in file geodatabase arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:\Temp\Sates.gdb' StSele = "States" StStates = 'Statefile' sjpoints = "In_memory\sjpoints" arcpy.SpatialJoin_analysis(StSele, StStates, sjpoints) search_feats ={f[0] for f in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(sjpoints,"State_1")} print(search_feats) place_dict = {"AL": "Alabama", "Ala": "Alaska", "OR": "Oregon", "Cal": "California", "WA": "Wasington"} #print(place_dict) with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(StSele, "State") as upd_cur: for upd_row in upd_cur: for key, value in search_feats.items(): val = place_dict.get(value) upd_row[0] = val upd_cur.updateRow(upd_row)     ...

Is my issue, value of None that was causing the issue in line 8? The StSele layer "States" filed does have "blanks" or/and "Nulls", that is correct as I am trying to update the StSele layers "State" field. ... View more
