sets and dicts are unordered. 

================
Yo order the a set i use:
names = set() #the i fill it with data

for name in sorted( names ): 
================

Now for the dictionary:

================
months = { 'Ιανουάριος':1, 'Φεβρουάριος':2, 'Μάρτιος':3, 'Απρίλιος':4, 'Μάϊος':5, 'Ιούνιος':6, \
	   'Ιούλιος':7, 'Αύγουστος':8, 'Σεπτέμβριος':9, 'Οκτώβριος':10, 'Νοέμβριος':11, 'Δεκέμβριος':12 }

for key in sorted( months.keys() ):
================

I'm having trouble ordering a dictionary though.

But how come i was able to sort the set names() and not being able to sort the dictionary keys as well with the sorted function?= i used?
