But how does it work?
You shouldn't order the input right?

I really like your solution supervik!

I don't know, maybe I'm biased but I think my solution is more readable... Would greatly appreciate any kind of feedback on it.

This seems the most elegant to me, uses the joins efficiently, uses .format nicely. Shows a keeness in separating the problem into efficient subproblems.

Wow, what a clever solution!

Niiice the first line in the condition I spent to much timle but couldn't get any closer to it hahah

For those wondering, you don't need OrderedDict with Python3.6
Dict are already ordered.

The force is strong with this one. Seeing great solutions like this is what makes codewars so addictive!

The alternative is equally bad. They both reimplement functionality that Python already provides because the authors do not fully understand how sequence slicing and str.join work. Here is a Pythonic solution that is easy to read:

SORCERY

No need for el in elif, or the else, since you're returning early. Could be, e.g.:

## first line as is
return names[0]['name'] if names else ''

Can someone point out why this is a best practice?
it is not self-explanatory and it bears a lot of nested functions, however it is a maintable code(In my opinion)

This will raise a KeyError if passed a dict without the key 'name'
