Kinda thought so. Yes...the sort() function doesn't return the results, but rather sorts in-place and returns nothing. The sorted() function was what I was reaching for, but only having 2.3.5 on the server at my finger tips, I couldn't verify that. So yes, it looks like the answer would be orderedDict = [(k,mydict[k]) for k in mydict.keys().sorted()] List comprehensions are such lovely things... :) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
