How to sort this dictionary?

Given the following dictionary:

var someDict = ["Wash Face" : "6:34 AM", "Clean the House" : "7:40 AM", "Go to School" : "5:30 AM"]

how do I sort it by time? The result should be:

someDictSORTED:

["Go to School" : "5:30 AM", "Wash Face" : "6:34 AM", "Clean the House" : "7:40 AM"]

Here's one way:

var someDict = ["Wash Face" : "6:34 AM", "Clean the House" : "7:40 AM", "Go to School" : "5:30 AM"]

let sortedDict = someDict.sort { $0.1 < $1.1 }
print("\(sortedDict)")  //[("Go to School", "5:30 AM"), ("Wash Face", "6:34 AM"), ("Clean the House", "7:40 AM")]
