来自Python的集合库文档:

>>> from collections import OrderedDict

>>> # regular unsorted dictionary
>>> d = {'banana': 3, 'apple':4, 'pear': 1, 'orange': 2}

>>> # dictionary sorted by key -- OrderedDict(sorted(d.items()) also works
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
OrderedDict([('apple', 4), ('banana', 3), ('orange', 2), ('pear', 1)])

>>> # dictionary sorted by value
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])

>>> # dictionary sorted by length of the key string
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: len(t[0])))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('apple', 4), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3)])

对于CPython/PyPy 3.6，以及任何Python 3.7或更高版本，这很容易做到:

>>> d = {2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}
>>> dict(sorted(d.items()))
{1: 89, 2: 3, 3: 0, 4: 5}

有一个简单的方法:

d = {2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}

s = {k : d[k] for k in sorted(d)}

s

Out[1]: {1: 89, 2: 3, 3: 0, 4: 5} 

最简单的解决方案是，你应该得到一个dict键排序顺序的列表，然后遍历dict。例如

a1 = {'a':1, 'b':13, 'd':4, 'c':2, 'e':30}
a1_sorted_keys = sorted(a1, key=a1.get, reverse=True)
for r in a1_sorted_keys:
    print r, a1[r]

以下是输出(按顺序排列)

e 30
b 13
d 4
c 2
a 1

字典本身并没有这样的排序条目，如果你想按某种顺序打印它们，这里有一些例子:

在Python 2.4及以上版本中:

mydict = {'carl':40,
          'alan':2,
          'bob':1,
          'danny':3}

for key in sorted(mydict):
    print "%s: %s" % (key, mydict[key])

给:

alan: 2
bob: 1
carl: 40
danny: 3

(Python低于2.4:)

keylist = mydict.keys()
keylist.sort()
for key in keylist:
    print "%s: %s" % (key, mydict[key])

2.7中两个方法的时间比较显示它们实际上是相同的:

>>> setup_string = "a = sorted(dict({2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}).items())"
>>> timeit.timeit(stmt="[(k, val) for k, val in a]", setup=setup_string, number=10000)
0.003599141953657181

>>> setup_string = "from collections import OrderedDict\n"
>>> setup_string += "a = OrderedDict({1:89, 2:3, 3:0, 4:5})\n"
>>> setup_string += "b = a.items()"
>>> timeit.timeit(stmt="[(k, val) for k, val in b]", setup=setup_string, number=10000)
0.003581275490432745
