Extremely useful :) Can you make this to work with the dictionary (based on keys!). When I pass a list of keys, it works! But when I pass a dictionary, it just returns the same! Can you make it work?

Thank you @iamsenthilprabu ! I made an example shortcut to demonstrate how to sort a dictionary by key. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2fc2b4418022454db39247fa50713bad

I have a question: (not related to this shortcut directly) - When I visit a website directly - I can see the JSON data in sorted! - When I use the Get Contents of URL in shortcuts - It is giving me the same data in a different order. I really don't know why? Any insight on this behavior?
