Dicts do not have a defined order

Do you know what an associative array is?

"beta" and "bet" don't have the same hash value, and a dict is just a hash table.

Why do you care about the order of a dict anyways?

Also, there's an ordered dict, aptly called OrderedDict, so use that.

Why do you need ordering in a dictionary? Sounds like shoddy code...

>>57771771
soon all dicts will be ordered

>>57771866
so it prints stuff in the order that the dict is created/modified

>>57771941
why?

>>57771947
cuz i fucking feel like it that's why

You want a CaterToMyWhimsDict then

>>57771941
You're supposed to store timestamps for that. Relying on the ordering of the dictionary is extremely sloppy.

Your mom already ordered my dict last night.
