`companion object {
    val SORTING_COLUMNS = mapOf(X to "Y")
    val DEFAULT_SORTING_COLUMN: String = SORTING_COLUMNS[X]!!
}`

Anything I could do here to avoid reductant !!?

[wbertan]

SORTING_COLUMNS.getValue(X)

?

@wbertan Perfect

[X] translates to .get(X) wich returns T? and the compile cannot know what is insider your map. mapOf could also return a map that returns a value on even seconds and null on odd seconds.
So only with getValue, yep 🙂

getValue is longer obviously but if I'm going to !! immediately I always use it; you get a better exception if the key is missing
