"The thing is that you are using the left view of the bimap, and not the one you have customized. Try using the right view map, it should work as you expect." I didn't understand why switching views would work, and it didn't do what I wanted. (I tried it anyway.) If I use the right view, then I'm looking up the multiset ints with a unique short, right? I want to go the other way- I want to look up a sorted range of unique shorts from the right side with a non-unique int from the left side. I might have misunderstood you, but I don't see how using the right view works there.
