Can PyYAML dump dict items in non-alphabetical order?

Question

I\'m using yaml.dump to output a dict. It prints out each item in alphabetical order based on the key.

>>> d = {\"z\":0,\"y\":0,\"x\":

Building on @orodbhen's answer:

old_sorted = __builtins__['sorted']
__builtins__['sorted'] = lambda x: x
with open(filename, 'w') as outfile:
    yaml.dump(f_json, outfile)
__builtins['sorted'] = old_sorted

Just replace the built-in function sorted by a lambda identity function while you use yaml.dump.
