i’d like to take a HashMap and sort it by its keys, but i only really care about having a specific key at the beginning, the rest of them don’t matter. something like

val myHashMap = HashMap<String, Int>
myHashMap.put("hello", 0)
myHashMap.put("world", 1)
val sorted = myHashMap.toSortedMap(compareBy { it == "world" })

can anyone help me figure out how to do that?

Are you sure it's a map you need? Otherwise LinkedHashMap will do the trick.

val hashMap: SortedMap<String, Int> = sortedMapOf()
