First, I would recommend you always post actual code and its output.
It is much easier for people to help you that way. Also, "dict" is
not a good variable name because it shadows the built-in of the same
name.

I'll extrapolate from your message that you want to get the values of
the dict in sorted order. If so, here's how:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':3}
d {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2} v = d.values()
v [1, 3, 2] v.sort()
v

[1, 2, 3]

>>> v [1, 3, 2] >>> v.sort()
>>> v

[1, 2, 3]

Or in Python 2.4:

py> d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':3}
py> sorted(d.values())
[1, 2, 3]
