If you’re working with older Python versions or need to adjust the order dynamically, you can manually sort the dictionary by its keys or values and ensure it stays in the desired order after modifications.
Although this doesn’t automatically preserve insertion order, it can help maintain consistency if needed.
Example:
d = {'ac': 33, 'gw': 20, 'ap': 102, 'za': 321, 'bs': 10}
# Manually re-sort the dictionary to maintain the declared order if needed
ordered_d = {key: d[key] for key in ['ac', 'gw', 'ap', 'za', 'bs']}
print(ordered_d)
This approach helps manually enforce the python dictionary order when necessary, though it requires careful management of key orders during updates.
