In addition to the standard SortedMap methods, this class provides the following methods for stored sorted maps only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

- `headMap(Object, boolean)`
- `tailMap(Object, boolean)`
- `subMap(Object, boolean, Object, boolean)`

Method Detail

### comparator

    public Comparator<? super K> comparator()

  Returns null since comparators are not supported. The natural ordering of a stored collection is data byte order, whether the data classes implement the `Comparable` interface or not. This method does not conform to the `SortedMap.comparator()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `comparator` in interface `SortedMap<K,V>`
  Returns:
    null.

### firstKey

    public K firstKey()

  Returns the first (lowest) key currently in this sorted map. This method conforms to the `SortedMap.firstKey()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `firstKey` in interface `SortedMap<K,V>`
  Returns:
    the first key.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

### lastKey

    public K lastKey()

  Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted map. This method conforms to the `SortedMap.lastKey()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `lastKey` in interface `SortedMap<K,V>`
  Returns:
    the last key.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).
