Retrieving sorted keys #24

Closed mr-eyes closed 5 years ago

mr-eyes commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I'm using the tsl::htrie_map for inserting DNA fixed-size strings as keys (4-bases ACGT). Is there any option to iterate over sorted keys? I didn't find anything related to that in the documentations.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately it's isn't currently possible. It could be possible to sort the keys in the hash map part of the HAT-Trie while iterating but I think other trie structures may be better suited if the keys need to be sorted.
