Dict are unorder by definition in python. Check OrderedDict from collections package. – Cheche Dec 06 '18 at 14:14
@Cheche: As of Python 3.7, the language says they’re ordered. – Ry- Dec 06 '18 at 14:16
There are answers on the dup which deal with all the major Python releases 2.7 onwards. – jpp Dec 06 '18 at 14:18
