When a SortedDictionary is serialized, does Aqla keep the "Comparer" of it? #59

I noticed that when a SortedDictionary is serialized/deserialized, its keys are sorted by the natural order of the key's type. The "Comparer" assigned to the SortedDictionary is lost.

You are right, the comparer is not stored. Unless the comparer is serializable too, it's even impossible to implement. If the deserialization creates a new instance of the sorted dictionary, it doesn't know which comparer to use.
