How to output unshuffled dict in django template?

Question

Django

Hello. I'm trying to display a list in a template, in quite the usual way, in the context I declared a list,

def menu_context_processor(request):
        main_menu_list = {
                'Новости':'news',
                'Статьи':'articles',
                'О компании':'about',
                'Каталог':'catalog',
                'Контакты':'contacts'
            }
        return {'main_menu_list': main_menu_list.items()}

Output in the template

{% for menu_key, menu_val in main_menu_list %}
     <li><a href="{% url menu_val %}">{{ menu_key|nbsp }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

The problem is that the list template mixes up, and I need to output it exactly in the same sequence as it is declared. Tell me how to do it?

Answer 1

Don't use a dictionary? A dictionary is a hash table, it doesn't store the sequence. Use a tuple, list, or ordered dictionary.

Answer 2

from collections import OrderedDict
