Dictionaries are unsorted, but you can iterate over a sorted version like
this:
for name, widget in sorted(widget.iteritems()):
...
This will sort on the keys.
Also, from your snippet you can save a few steps of looping and converting
your category names by just starting with a set:
categories = set()
for icon in icons:
categoryName = icon.partition("__")[0]
categories.add(categoryName)
If you really need categories to be a list instead of a set, then you could
convert it back now:
categories = list(categories)
But a set can still be looped over, and is faster for checking membership
("foo" in categories)
