Not unless the calling code inserts in that Map *and iterates* over it, 
it doesn't.

A LinkedHashMap is not sorted. At least not in the absolute sense. It is 
sorted relatively to another sorting, viz. it (possibly) replicates the 
iteration order of another Map. But as I have tried to explain before, 
knowing that it's a LinkedHashMap *without knowing in what order the 
insertion took place* doesn't tell you *anything* about the iteration order.
