You can't do this directly, because assoziative arrays are not directly sortable because of their implementation (has nothing to do with D).

But it is not difficult to create a sorted list, e. g. sorted by the keys:

  alias char [] String;

  int main () {
    int [String] age;

    age["Peter"]=17;
    age["Adam"]=6;
    age["Laura"]=8;
    age["Nora"]=6;

    String [] keys=age.keys.sort;
    String name;
    for(int i=0; i<keys.length; i++) {
      name=keys[i];
      printf("%.*s: %d\n",name,age[name]);
    }

    return 0;
  }

You could do it in a similar way for values (age.values), but depending on the situation you might need to create a new map to find back to the corresponding keys.

Can you provide an example of this? I tried by override the cmp operator on the keys array but was unsuccessful.
