for meas in sorted(adc.cfg, key=lambda key: adc.cfg[key].ain):
print(adc.cfg[meas].ain, adc.cfg[meas].Description)
or simpler
for row in sorted(adc.cfg.values(), key=operator.attrgetter("ain"))
print(row.ain, row.Description)
or even
for row in sorted(
map(operator.attrgetter("ain", "Description"), adc.cfg.values())):
print(*row)
