Sort map

---

• You can't really sort a map, but you can iterate over the keys in some sorted way.
• You just need to fetch the keys, sort them, and then iterate over that slice.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sort"
)

func main() {
    scores := map[string]int{"Alma": 23, "Cecilia": 12, "David": 37, "Berta": 78}
    fmt.Println(len(scores))
    fmt.Println(scores)
    fmt.Println()

    for name, score := range scores {
        fmt.Printf("%-7v %v\n", name, score)
    }
    fmt.Println()

    names := make([]string, 0, len(scores))
    for name := range scores {
        names = append(names, name)
    }
    fmt.Println(names)
    sort.Strings(names)
    fmt.Println(names)
    fmt.Println()

    for _, name := range names {
        fmt.Printf("%-7v %v\n", name, scores[name])
    }
}
