Can PyYAML dump dict items in non-alphabetical order?

by

If you upgrade PyYAML to 5.1 version, now, it supports dump without sorting the keys like this:

yaml.dump(data, sort_keys=False)

As shown in help(yaml.Dumper), sort_keys defaults to True:

Dumper(stream, default_style=None, default_flow_style=False,
  canonical=None, indent=None, width=None, allow_unicode=None,
  line_break=None, encoding=None, explicit_start=None, explicit_end=None,
  version=None, tags=None, sort_keys=True)

(These are passed as kwargs to yaml.dump)
