I have some data stored in a python dict and need to display it in a particular order in html. For example;
values = {
server1 : {'key1' : 'b', 'key2' : 'd'},
server2 : {'key1' : 'e', 'key2' : 'f'},
server3 : {'key1' : 'g', 'key2' : 'h'},
server4 : {'key1' : 'i', 'key2' : 'j'},
server5 : {'key1' : 'k', 'key2' : 'l'},
server6 : {'key1' : 'm', 'key2' : 'n'},
}

Welcome to StackOverflow! Hope this helps,.
In your input, you need to ensure that there are single quotes around the keys('server1', 'server2',.... ). Otherwise, you can build your dictionary in Python.
>>> values = {
... 'server1' : {'key1' : 'b', 'key2' : 'd'},
... 'server2' : {'key1' : 'e', 'key2' : 'f'},
... 'server3' : {'key1' : 'g', 'key2' : 'h'},
... 'server4' : {'key1' : 'i', 'key2' : 'j'},
... 'server5' : {'key1' : 'k', 'key2' : 'l'},
... 'server6' : {'key1' : 'm', 'key2' : 'n'},
... }
>>>
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(values)
>>> df
server1 server2 server3 server4 server5 server6
key1 b e g i k m
key2 d f h j l n
To conver to HTML format
>>> df.to_html()
'<table border="1" class="dataframe">\n <thead>\n <tr style="text-align: right;">\n <th></th>\n <th>server1</th>\n <th>server2</th>\n <th>server3</th>\n <th>server4</th>\n <th>server5</th>\n <th>server6</th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <th>key1</th>\n <td>b</td>\n <td>e</td>\n <td>g</td>\n <td>i</td>\n <td>k</td>\n <td>m</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <th>key2</th>\n <td>d</td>\n <td>f</td>\n <td>h</td>\n <td>j</td>\n <td>l</td>\n <td>n</td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>'

Using pandas to_html, you can get your HTML data.
