Sort with two attributes

What you need it is to split into two lists based on true/false and then sort them in forward order:

    - name: "Output"
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: |
          {% for db in databases | selectattr('is_standby','true') | sort(attribute='dbname')  %}
          {{ db.dbname }}
          {% endfor %}

          {% for db in databases | selectattr('is_standby','false') | sort(attribute='dbname')  %}
          {{ db.dbname }}
          {% endfor %}

Results

TASK [Output] ***********************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "B_dg\nC_dg\n\nA_dg\n"
}

PLAY RECAP **************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

I wouldn’t off the top of my head know how sorting true/false works. I wouln’ t use sort when there’s only two options.
