You can’t do that. SortedMap
sorts by keys, not values.
If you want it sorted by value, you gotta use ListMap
, and can’t avoid converting to List
:
ListMap(i.toList.sortBy(-_._2):_*)
There isn’t really too much wrong with converting to list, since you are loading the whole thing in memory anyway. This is faster too, than building a tree one element at a time.
