sorting

[zivoni]

Maybe I misunderstood something (as a dict has no inherited order of keys), but why not just print the dict using sort with key = str?

for key in sorted(my_dict, key=str):
    print(key, my_dict[key])

Or eventually convert it to / use OrderedDict from collections to preserve order?

from collections import OrderedDict

ord_dict = OrderedDict(((key, my_dict[key]) for key in sorted(my_dict, key=str)))
