No.  You have to either make a list of key,value items and sort that, 
possibly with a cmp or key parameter

items = d.items()
items.sort(()

or write or find a sorted_dict class (Google may help).  In most 
applications, people find that they only need a sorted listing of a dict 
occasionally, so they just use the fast builtin dict and the fast builtin 
list sort when needed.

Problem in Dictionaries

[Glauco Silva]

I´m with problem in Dictionaries !
I would like to know if the dictionary can sort with a function that i give to then!
Because i need to have a dictionary sort by key !
For exemple :
dict  = {}
dict[50] = "fifty"
dict[129] = "a hundred twenty nine"
print dict
{129: "a hundred twenty nine", 50: "fifty"}
 
But i need dict sort :
{ 50: "fifty", 129: "a hundred twenty nine"}
 
How can i do this ?
 
Thanks,
Glauco Buzini da Costa Silva
