Overview
SortedMap is a Dart package that extends the functionality of standard maps by enabling sorting and filtering based on both keys and values. It provides a dynamic, type-safe way to manage key-value pairs while maintaining order according to user-defined criteria. Ideal for applications requiring ordered data retrieval, such as real-time dashboards or data analysis tools, it supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter projects via pub.dev and offers intuitive APIs for common operations like filtering, mapping, and iterating over sorted entries.
