Variations on this come up all the time. Note that arrays can be
sorted.
So, create an array of tuples containing the key and the value.
Then you can sort the array anyway you please.
In the view:
# create the array of tuples
ordered_dict = [(key, val) for key,val in my_original_dict.items()]
# sort by key
ordered_dict.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(a[0], b[0]))
or
# sort by value
ordered_dict.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(a[1], b[1]))
# if values are objects, you can do
ordered_dict.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(a[1].some_attr, b[1].some_attr))
In the template:
{% for item in ordered_dict %}
Key: {{item.0}} Value: {{item.1}}
{% for %}
