a C++ hash map that preserves the order of insertion

Question

I have the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include "boost/unordered_map.hpp"

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

int main()
{

    typedef unordered_map<int, int> Map;
    typedef Map::const_iterator It;

    Map m;
    m[11] = 0;
    m[0]  = 1;
    m[21] = 2;

    for (It it (m.begin()); it!=m.end(); ++it)
        cout << it->first << " " << it->second << endl;

    return 0;
}

However, I am looking for something that preserves the order so that later I can iterate over the elements in the same order in which they were inserted. On my computer the above code does not preserve the order, and prints the following:

 0 1
11 0
21 2

I thought maybe I could use a boost::multi_index_container

typedef multi_index_container<
    int,
    indexed_by<
        hashed_unique<identity<int> >,
        sequenced<>
    >
> Map;

Can somebody show me how to implement my original code using this container (or any other appropriate container) so that the iterator follows the order of insertion?

    Map m;
    m.insert(Data_t(11,0));
    m.insert(Data_t(0,1));
    m.insert(Data_t(21,1));

    {
        cout << "Hashed values\n";
        Map_hashed_by_key_iterator_t i = get<key>(m).begin();

        for (;i != end; ++i) {
            cout << (*i).key_ << " " << (*i).data_ << endl;
        }
    }

    {
        cout << "Sequenced values\n";
        Map_sequenced_by_key_iterator_t i = get<key_seq>(m).begin();

            cout << (*i).key_ << " " << (*i).data_ << endl;
        }
    }

    return 0;
