You can't sort a dictionary but you can sort its keys as follow:

let myDict: [String:String] = ["car":"blue", "watch":"black", "bike": "red"]

for key in myDict.keys.array.sorted(<) {
    let value  = myDict[key]!
    println("(key) = (value)")
}


let dashboardItemsTuples : [(String , String)] = [("All Cards" , "cards" ), ("Cards by Topic" , "cards_topic"), ("Lessons" , "lesson" ), ("Audio" , "audio"), ("Video" ,"video") ,( "Ebook" , "ebook") , ("Bookmarked Cards" , "bookmark_cards" ), ("Upgrade","upgrade") , ("Downloads" ,"downloads")]

for (key,value) in dashboardItemsTuples {
    println("(key)=(value)")
}
