[Python] How to rename a dictionary key and keep the order in python?

I have a json file to store the data for an app. This json file has this dict in it:

{
"Survival": {
"text": "Survival",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Survival\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"Creative": {
"text": "Creative",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Creative\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"Redstone": {
"text": "Redstone",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Redstone\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"Create": {
"text": "Create",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Create\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"1.21": {
"text": "1.21",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\1.21\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"Ice Boat": {
"text": "Ice Boat",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Ice Boat\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
},
"Mods Lohan": {
"text": "Mods Lohan",
"directory": "C:\\Users\\Famille Arcand\\Downloads\\Mods\\Mods Lohan\\",
"fg_color": "#1e69a4",
"hover_color": "#144870"
}
}


I am reading from it and assigning it to the var buttons_data. Then i modify the values nested a specified key (for example the value of "text" inside "Survival" will be set to "Survival Mods".) but i also need to change the name of the key (The name needs to be the same as the "text" value) and keep the order.

I tried this:

def rename_key(d, old_key, new_key):
return {new_key if k == old_key else k: v for k, v in d.items()}

with open(buttons, 'r') as json_file:
buttons_data = json.load(json_file)

for button in list(buttons_data.keys()):
if button == text:
buttons_data[button]["text"] = new_text
buttons_data[button]["directory"] = new_directory
buttons_data[button]["fg_color"] = new_fg_color
buttons_data[button]["hover_color"] = new_hover_color
rename_key(buttons_data, text, new_text)
break


My issue is that the function rename_key() works when using a dict written in the script (when i define a var manually to be the exact same thing as the json file) but not when i am using a dict in a json file, even when the are the same.
