sorting dictionary for graphics

[clouddragon]

hello,

I have to write a program that draws a chart from dictionary entries. I am able to make a draw a chart however it is unsorted. How can i get it sorted. Please help asap. THANKS in advance.

from random import shuffle
from graphics import *
 
 
def main(n):
    win = GraphWin("Major Statistics",800,400)
    win.setBackground('white')
 
    # Let's define lower left and upper right for the coord.system
    x_min = -1.0      # make sure (0,0) is on the screen
    y_min = -1.0      # make sure (0,0) is on the screen
    x_max = n + 1.0   # give a little extra horizontal space
    y_max = n * 2.5   # give 10% extra vertical space
 
    win.setCoords(x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max)       
   
    Stats = { "ECSE":45, "LCSI":37, "ECOM":20, "ABIT":6, "ACSM":12, "AEXH":2, \
          "AEXP":9, "BULS":8, "APME":7, "BBMB":1, "EBCL":5, \
	  "EEEL":27, "LDES":4, "LMAT":31, "LPHY":22, "LPSC":41, "LUHU":15, \
	  "LUPS":11, "LUSS":10 }
      
    L = Stats   
    for key, value in enumerate(Stats):
        
        x = key
        y = L[value]
        t = Text(Point(x,y+1), value)
        t.draw(win)
        line = Line(Point(x,0), Point(x,y))
        line.setFill("blue")
        line.draw(win)       
               
    # wait for final mouse click!
    win.getMouse()
    win.close()
    print "Done"
 
main(19)

Here is one way to access key, value pairs sorted by key ...

stats = { "ECSE":45, "LCSI":37, "ECOM":20, "ABIT":6,
    "ACSM":12, "AEXH":2, "AEXP":9, "BULS":8, "APME":7,
    "BBMB":1, "EBCL":5, "EEEL":27, "LDES":4, "LMAT":31,
    "LPHY":22, "LPSC":41, "LUHU":15, "LUPS":11, "LUSS":10 }

# create a list of (key, value) tuples
kvt = [(k, v) for k, v in stats.items()]

# show sorted key, value pairs
for k, v in sorted(kvt):
    print k, v

"""
