title: Python Dictionary AZBY Sorting
body: <p>I am trying to build a program that will order my dictionary values in a particular way. </p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to do is this - </p>
  
  <p>If I have a dictionary of:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ul>
    <li>name1 : 1  </li>
    <li>name2 : 2 </li>
    <li>name3 : 3 </li>
    <li>name4 : 4 </li>
    <li>name5 : 5 </li>
    <li>name6 : 6</li>
    <li>name7 : 7</li>
    <li>name8 : 8</li>
    </ul>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I want it to be organised by the highest with the lowest, then the second highest with the second lowest and so forth eg. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>1,8,2,7,3,6,4,5  (A,Z,B,Y)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The data I am trying to sort is in a dictionary form and would just need to be printed in that order as it is just for a one time use and not to store.</p>
  
  <p>I hope this is enough information.</p>
  
  <p>ps. I am new to python so if explanations could be kept as simple as possible it would be great, also I am using python version 3.6 </p>
