public class StoredSortedMap
extends StoredMap
implements SortedMap

A SortedMap view of a `Database`.

Note that this class does not conform to the standard Java collections interface in the following ways:

- The `StoredContainer.size()` method always throws `UnsupportedOperationException` because, for performance reasons, databases do not maintain their total record count.
- All iterators must be explicitly closed using `StoredIterator.close()` or `StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator)` to release the underlying database cursor resources.

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.

- `StoredMap.duplicates(Object)`
- `headMap(Object, boolean)`
- `tailMap(Object, boolean)`
- `subMap(Object, boolean, Object, boolean)`

  `keyBinding` - is the binding used to translate between key buffers and key objects.
  `valueBinding` - is the binding used to translate between value buffers and value objects.
  `writeAllowed` - is true to create a read-write collection or false to create a read-only collection.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if formats are not consistently defined or a parameter is invalid.
  `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.
