Can't open Dict in variable explorer with mixed data types as keys.

See original GitHub issue

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1: Create a dictionary with a mixture of strings and numeric values as keys. eg. colors = {1: ‘red’,‘Y’: ‘yellow’}

2: Attempt to open the dictionary in the variable explorer.

3: no profit.

EDIT: Using this function:

def mixs(self, num):
    try:
        ele = int(num)
        return (0, ele, '')
    except ValueError:
        return (1, num, '')

as a key for the sorted() here:

File "C:\Users\ifeed\anaconda3\envs\spyder\lib\site-packages\spyder\plugins\variableexplorer\widgets\collectionseditor.py", line 173, in set_data
    self.keys = sorted(list(data.keys()))

fixes the problem, but probably not in the best way.

@jitseniesen, we still need to sort them to avoid the problem reported on issue #10702.

@skjerns, I like that idea! I’ll fix this bug first, then you can give it a try in a different pull request.
