The dictionary itself is actually unordered; a C++ std::map this ain't. To sort its elements, you need to build a list of the items and sort that, e.g.: items = [(v, k) for k, v in self.histo.items()] items.sort() This will give you a list of (value, key) tuples sorted by value. -Kirk McDonald -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
