# get a list of tuples consisting the dict,
# sort the list with tuple items
print sorted(a.items())
# sort according to key
# print sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0])

# sort according to value
# print sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1])

# Demo2

print [key, a.get(key) for key in sorted(a.iterkeys())]
