Let us consider a dictionary:

sample_dict={1:'r099',2:'g444',3:'t555',4:'f444',5:'h666'}

I want to re-order this dictionary in an order specified by a list containing the order of the dictionary keys that I desire. Let us say the desired order list is:

desired_order_list=[5,2,4,3,1]

So, I want my dictionary to appear like this:

{5:'h666',2:'g444',4:'f444',3:'t555',1:'r099'}

If I can get a list of values that is fine too. Meaning, the result can be this:

['h666','g444','f444','t555','r099']

How do I achieve this in the least complex way possible?
