In my KMP project I am trying to sort a HashMap by its keys, however I noticed that

toSortedMap

seems not to be available in the common module only the JVM. What is the way to sort a hashmap in the common module?

depends, do you need a MutableMap, a Map, or just a collection of entries?

Right now mutable map but not stuck with it or anything

there isn't a common MutableMap that maintains sorting order right now, you'd have to build your own 😞

What would you suggest, I can easily change to something else that could sort as long as I have a way to associate a key with a value. I am trying to build an OAuth header and I need to sort the parameters to create the signature

map.entries.sortedBy { it.key }.associateBy({ it.key }, { it.value })

would create a new read-only map with ordered keys

nice that should do just fine!

if you just need iteration and don't need the Map aspect, you might be able to get away with

map.entries.sortedBy { it.key }

ha yeah it is and I wish I could use OAuth2 but the api I am using does not support it for what I need
