Sorting a set works, sorting a dictionary fails ?

Because values are not keys. You are looking at the values, and trying to 
use them as keys.

months = {'Φεβρουάριος':2, 'Ιανουάριος':1}
print("==Values==")
for x in sorted(months.values()):
    print(x)

print("==Keys==")
for x in sorted(months.keys()):
    print(x)


prints:


==Values==
1
2
==Keys==
Ιανουάριος
Φεβρουάριος
