Honestly for me it's either linear search, dictionary, or external store like database and that's actually it.

I think I've had to implement my own traversable data structure literally only in interviews



To clarify, I definitely don't mean I've been implementing these structures by hand! Even when using data structures from the standard library or other dependencies though, I just don't end up needing sort-ordered collections very often in my work, and I thought that was interesting (although sibling comments might indicate that this isn't necessarily typical).
