I’m looking for a way to maintain the sorting on my key-value pairs. They are sorted by variables outside of the actual key-value pairs (for better UI). I am currently using a Hashtable, but that does not maintain the sorting =(

Hashtable<Integer, String> subscriptions = getUsersSubscriptions(user);

Is there some simple way that Java lets one store pairs? The best idea I can think of is using 2 associated ArrayLists (one of type Integer, another of type String). Can someone think of something better?

    If your key-value pairs are already sorted, LinkedHashMap will maintain order of insertion.

    In other words, the keys returned by map.keySet() will be in the exact order you put them into the map.
