Losting dropbox sort order

[JohnTheDroider]

I am losting soft order of my list as I convert to Map.. How else can I do this... Spring needs my list as a Map<String, String> for my dropbox


Map<String, String> selectableReporters = new HashMap<String, String>();
List<NameID_lookupModel> lstReports = database.getSelectableReporters();

for (NameID_lookupModel i : lstReports) selectableReporters.put(i.getID(), i.getName() + " - " + i.getID());

I got this one working by doing the following:

LinkedHashMap<String, String> selectableReporters = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
List<NameID_lookupModel> lstReports = database.getSelectableReporters();

for (NameID_lookupModel i : lstReports) selectableReporters.put(i.getID(), i.getName() + " - " + i.getID());
