Doesn't TreeMap extend/implement Map? Is there a reason you can't just pass a TreeMap into the constructor?

How about overloading the constructor? That way if you provide a TreeMap the result is ordered. If not you get what you get. Many classes are dependent on SimpleAlignment so it may not pay to change it too much.

                Is there any objection to making SimpleAlignment take a TreeMap 
instead of a simple Map? The reason is that order of the sequences in the alignment is 
often of importance. I suppose the alternative is to create a new alignment called 
OrderedAlignment.
