In 3.2.2 in IDLE I have this dictionary entry:

Namath = {"first_name": "Joe", "last_name": "Namath", "phone": "212-222-7777",\
           "email": "[email protected]", "stadium": "Shea Stadium"}

when I print it:

print(Namath)

I get:

{'phone': '212-222-7777', 'first_name': 'Joe', 'last_name': 'Namath',
'email': '[email protected]', 'stadium': 'Shea Stadium'}

Why is it out of order?


Cos plain old dicts have no order, but this can be done with http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#ordereddict-objects
