Question

I have a LinkedHashMap:

LinkedHashMap

that I need to iterate through from a given key\'s position, backwar

Answer 1

You don't have to iterate through it. But it would be handy to pull the keys off and store it in a list. Thats the only way you can do indexOf() type operations.

List keyList = new ArrayList(map.keySet());
// Given 10th element's key
String key = "aKey";
int idx = keyList.indexOf(key);
for ( int i = idx ; i >= 0 ; i-- ) 
 System.out.println(map.get(keyList.get(i)));
