Python dictionaries aren't ordered. If you need to
retrieve the items of a dictionary in a particular
order, there are several ways to do that. For example,
you can use the keys() method to get a list of the
keys in the dictionary, and then apply the sort()
method or the sorted() function to that list:
my_dict = {"foo": 42, "bar": 17, "baz": 83, "hurz": 55}
for key in sorted(my_dict.keys()):
print key, my_dict[key]
Or:
for key, value in sorted(my_dict.items()):
print key, value

I didn't see it. Maybe the mailing list software
removed it. I suggest you upload it somewhere and
tell us the URL.
Best regards
