You want the dict to be sorted in your Python source code, is that it? The simplest thing might be to use an editor with a sort function. If the code was generated from Python then you can use Danny's method to sort and change the output. Something like this:

for k, v in sorted(d.items()):
  print '    %r : %r,' % (k, v)
