By default, Strings are sorted alphabetically.
You'll need to write your own Comparator to order them chronologically.

Why are you using a TreeMap and not just a List?

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Consider using a LinkedHashMap and just add the items in the order you want them to be displayed.

If the insertion order is not Important, then probably HashMap wud be the best choice.
