How to change the order of attributes in a dictionary?

Answer 1

Your answer to yourself, as you said, is long and cumbersome. It should not be. It will also fail if (1) has more than 10 keys (2), the dict has fewer keys than expected.

Try it; it is much simpler:

>>> ordered_keys = ('z', 'y', 'e', 'x', 'w') # possible keys, in desired order

Note: the line above is all the necessary settings.

>>> dic = {'z':'a', 'y':'b', 'x':'c', 'w':'d'} # actual contents of a dictionary
>>> for k in ordered_keys:
...     if k in dic: # avoid trouble if a key is missing
...         print k, dic[k]
...
z a
y b
x c
w d
