No you cannot, neither is this necessary. std::map<> is always maintained in sorted order. For this it uses the comparision function std::less<> or the one given in the template argument. See Christian Mayer's mail for details. I recommend Nicolai Josuttis' book: The C++ standard library. A tutorial and reference. He also mentions another technique which could be used to achive the desired behaviour: Defining your own char_traits< char > class. But IMO this is a bit awkward.
