Sorting a dictionary.

[turbid vigil]

In the sorting of a dictionary, does the sorting of the dictionary take precedence on alphabets?

Hi Wealth👽.☂🕸 III,

Thanks for your question! It looks like you're asking a Python-related question, but your tags include C++, C, and C#. Could you update the tags to reflect that this is a Python question?

Thanks!

Are you talking about python? You're going to need to provide more information

You'd also have to define what an ordering looks like on a dictionary

some people sort the tuples of (key, value), others just sort based on the key

some others sort by insertion order

[cerulean bridge]

(actually the default behavior in e.g. modern Python)

I thought default python behavior is sort by keys

[cerulean bridge]

For sorted yes

if you explicitly sort

if you don't do anything the entries are sorted by insertion order (changed in idk some relatively recent 3.X version)

3.7 I think?

Oh I thought they were referring to actually sorting on the dictionary

[cerulean bridge]

maybe, in that case it's sorting keys with cmp or whatever

(I believe?)

ig the question is hinting at ducts with string keys so there it's alphabetical

Yes in python
