Another solution that worked very well for me and I think it's simplier. It uses OrderedDict() more info

In your views.py file add:

from collections import OrderedDict
def main(request):
    ord_dict = OrderedDict()
    ord_dict['2015-06-20'] = {}
    ord_dict['2015-06-20']['a'] = '1'
    ord_dict['2015-06-20']['b'] = '2'
    ord_dict['2015-06-21'] = {}
    ord_dict['2015-06-21']['a'] = '10'
    ord_dict['2015-06-21']['b'] = '20'
    return render(request, 'main.html', {'context': ord_dict})

Then in your template, you can do:

{% for key, value in context.items %}
    
{% endfor %}

        
{{ key }}
        
{{ value.a }}
        
{{ value.b }} 
    

This will return the keys of the dictionary in the same ordered that they were put in.

2015-06-21  10  20
