Defining sorting criteria in SortedDictionary

[andreadelfante]

Is it possible defining a sorting criteria in SortedDictionary? I'm using this data structure but i need to sort elements in order descending directly.

The SortedDictionary is sorted by its key value. So if you want to access it in descending order, you can access it backwards. For example:

let n = dict.count
for i in 1..<n {
    let e = dict[n - i]
    // do something with `e`
}

Something like that should work. If you need, please reopen the issue. All the best!

Yes, I use SortedDictionary.reversed() to get an array of tuple..but i wanna reduce my algorithm complexity, trying to perform only one iteration. It could be useful implementing a custom comparable closure, like TreeMap in Java.

That is a good idea, I will look into that.
