I have an example YAML file:

---
foo:
  - 1
  - 2
  - 3

bar: test123
lol: test456
haha: test789

And I want to import it and sort the foo, bar, lol, and haha keys has they're specified in said YAML file, like this:

foo
bar
lol
haha

Unfortunately, when reading and loading YAML data in Python 3, the order of the foo, bar, lol, and haha keys will vary:

Like this:

bar
foo
haha
lol

Or like this:

lol
haha
bar
foo
