SortedMap with custom comparator

Posted: 10/03/08 08:18:58 Hello, I'm trying to use a SortedMap? with an integer as a key and a float as value and would like to sort the Map by the value of the float? Is this even possible? I saw in the API documentation that there is a compareElem function, but how do I override it and how do I invoke it? The sample from the Wiki isn't very helpful anymore as TreeBag? is deprecated. http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/ChapterStorage thank you very much. /lars Some thoughts about switching from PHP to D: http://www.lars-kirchhoff.de/go/journal/section/from-php-to-d/

If you want the compare function to compare the values not the keys, isn't this essentially the same as swapping the keys and values in the map? Not really sure what you're trying to do, so can't really help more..
