Answer 1

When you say 'Ordered' you are already indirectly implying that 'order index' is the 'key' which is unique. Why can't you use std::vector?

If you want to have another unique key than you can use std::map but you will have to improvise 'order' as part of the key/value combination. I see the ultimate solution will be something composite. You will have your own class to support what you want which in tern may std::map to implement this or any other contain like list.
