Jim Jewett <jimjjew...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: I would try to make it more explicit that updates do not reset the order, but deleting a item and re-inserting it *does*. (So it isn't the first insertion of the key, it is the first that hasn't yet been followed by a deletion.)
Maybe change: """ When iterating over an ordered dictionary, the items are returned in the order their keys were first added. """ to [removed "first", added longer explanation] """ When iterating over an ordered dictionary, the items are returned in the order their keys were added. (This implies that updating an item to a new value does not reset the order, but deleting the item and re-inserting it moves the item to the end.)
