But if you're okay with constructing a new dict, you can do this: d = dict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda kv: ...)) Your key function will receive a tuple of the key and the value. If you don't provide one, default tuple sorting will effectively sort the elements by their keys - probably a good default.
