Sort by keys:

import operator
x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(0),reverse=True)
for k,v in sorted_x: # Return a tuple, can directly use: 'for k,v in sorted_x'
    ...

Sort by values:

import operator
x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1),reverse=True)

Using lambda:
Sort by keys:

sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[0],reverse=True)

Sort by values:

sorted(d.items(), key=lambda x: x[1],reverse=True)
