Create a lookup with indices as values and char as key for order string. Then iterate through the string and use bucket sort. This would solve it in linear time.

The reason why we didn't get an error from the 'd' letter was simply because you were using the collections.defaultdict(int) -> 'd' : 0
So you're all good

I guess the non ordered characters were being transformed into unicode code point values? That's strange because from what I understand, the letter 'd' is equal to 100
