public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    TreeMap<Integer, String> hm=new TreeMap();
    hm.put(3, "arun singh");
    hm.put(5, "vinay singh");
    hm.put(1, "bandagi singh");
    hm.put(6, "vikram singh");

    Collections.sort(al, new myComparator());

    System.out.println("//sort by values \n");
    for(String obj: al){
        for(Map.Entry<Integer, String> map2:hm.entrySet()){
            if(map2.getValue().equals(obj)){
                System.out.println(map2.getKey()+" "+map2.getValue());

}

       String o3=(String) o1;
       String o4 =(String) o2;
       return o3.compareTo(o4);
    }

输出，输出=

//sort by values 

3 arun singh
1 bandagi singh
28 jakarta singh
2 panipat singh
6 vikram singh
5 vinay singh

当然，Stephen的解决方案真的很棒，但对于那些不会使用Guava的人来说：

这是我的解决方案，用于按值对地图进行排序。此解决方案处理两倍相同值等情况。。。

// If you want to sort a map by value, and if there can be twice the same value:

// here is your original map
Map<String,Integer> mapToSortByValue = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
mapToSortByValue.put("A", 3);
mapToSortByValue.put("B", 1);
mapToSortByValue.put("C", 3);
mapToSortByValue.put("D", 5);
mapToSortByValue.put("E", -1);
mapToSortByValue.put("F", 1000);
mapToSortByValue.put("G", 79);
mapToSortByValue.put("H", 15);

// Sort all the map entries by value
Set<Map.Entry<String,Integer>> set = new TreeSet<Map.Entry<String,Integer>>(
        new Comparator<Map.Entry<String,Integer>>(){
            @Override
            public int compare(Map.Entry<String,Integer> obj1, Map.Entry<String,Integer> obj2) {
                Integer val1 = obj1.getValue();
                Integer val2 = obj2.getValue();
                // DUPLICATE VALUE CASE
                // If the values are equals, we can't return 0 because the 2 entries would be considered
                // as equals and one of them would be deleted (because we use a set, no duplicate, remember!)
                int compareValues = val1.compareTo(val2);
                if ( compareValues == 0 ) {
                    String key1 = obj1.getKey();
                    String key2 = obj2.getKey();
                    int compareKeys = key1.compareTo(key2);
                    if ( compareKeys == 0 ) {
                        // what you return here will tell us if you keep REAL KEY-VALUE duplicates in your set
                        // if you want to, do whatever you want but do not return 0 (but don't break the comparator contract!)
                        return 0;
                    }
                    return compareKeys;
                }
                return compareValues;
            }
        }
);
set.addAll(mapToSortByValue.entrySet());


// OK NOW OUR SET IS SORTED COOL!!!!

// And there's nothing more to do: the entries are sorted by value!
for ( Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : set ) {
    System.out.println("Set entries: " + entry.getKey() + " -> " + entry.getValue());
}




// But if you add them to an hashmap
Map<String,Integer> myMap = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
// When iterating over the set the order is still good in the println...
for ( Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : set ) {
    System.out.println("Added to result map entries: " + entry.getKey() + " " + entry.getValue());
    myMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}

// But once they are in the hashmap, the order is not kept!
for ( Integer value : myMap.values() ) {
    System.out.println("Result map values: " + value);
}
// Also this way doesn't work:
// Logic because the entryset is a hashset for hashmaps and not a treeset
// (and even if it was a treeset, it would be on the keys only)
for ( Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : myMap.entrySet() ) {
    System.out.println("Result map entries: " + entry.getKey() + " -> " + entry.getValue());
}


// CONCLUSION:
// If you want to iterate on a map ordered by value, you need to remember:
// 1) Maps are only sorted by keys, so you can't sort them directly by value
// 2) So you simply CAN'T return a map to a sortMapByValue function
// 3) You can't reverse the keys and the values because you have duplicate values
//    This also means you can't neither use Guava/Commons bidirectionnal treemaps or stuff like that

// SOLUTIONS
// So you can:
// 1) only sort the values which is easy, but you loose the key/value link (since you have duplicate values)
// 2) sort the map entries, but don't forget to handle the duplicate value case (like i did)
// 3) if you really need to return a map, use a LinkedHashMap which keep the insertion order

希望它能帮助一些人

Java 8提供了一个新的答案：将条目转换为流，并使用Map中的比较器组合符。条目：

Stream<Map.Entry<K,V>> sorted =
    map.entrySet().stream()
       .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue());

这将允许您使用按值升序排序的条目。如果您想要递减值，只需反转比较器：

Stream<Map.Entry<K,V>> sorted =
    map.entrySet().stream()
       .sorted(Collections.reverseOrder(Map.Entry.comparingByValue()));

如果这些值不可比较，则可以传递显式比较器：

Stream<Map.Entry<K,V>> sorted =
    map.entrySet().stream()
       .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue(comparator));

然后，您可以继续使用其他流操作来使用数据。例如，如果要在新地图中显示前10名：

Map<K,V> topTen =
    map.entrySet().stream()
       .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue(Comparator.reverseOrder()))
       .limit(10)
       .collect(Collectors.toMap(
          Map.Entry::getKey, Map.Entry::getValue, (e1, e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));

上面看到的LinkedHashMap按插入顺序迭代条目。

或打印到System.out：

map.entrySet().stream()
   .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue())
   .forEach(System.out::println);

以下是通用友好版本：

public class MapUtil {
    public static <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Map<K, V> sortByValue(Map<K, V> map) {
        List<Entry<K, V>> list = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
        list.sort(Entry.comparingByValue());

        Map<K, V> result = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        for (Entry<K, V> entry : list) {
            result.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
        }

        return result;
    }
}

我合并了user157196和Carter Page的解决方案：

class MapUtil {

    public static <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Map<K, V> sortByValue( Map<K, V> map ){
        ValueComparator<K,V> bvc =  new ValueComparator<K,V>(map);
        TreeMap<K,V> sorted_map = new TreeMap<K,V>(bvc);
        sorted_map.putAll(map);
        return sorted_map;
    }

}

class ValueComparator<K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> implements Comparator<K> {

    Map<K, V> base;
    public ValueComparator(Map<K, V> base) {
        this.base = base;
    }

    public int compare(K a, K b) {
        int result = (base.get(a).compareTo(base.get(b)));
        if (result == 0) result=1;
        // returning 0 would merge keys
        return result;
    }
}

这种方法正好能达到目的。（“挫折”是Values必须实现java.util.Comparable接口）

  /**

 * Sort a map according to values.

 * @param <K> the key of the map.
 * @param <V> the value to sort according to.
 * @param mapToSort the map to sort.

 * @return a map sorted on the values.

 */ 
public static <K, V extends Comparable< ? super V>> Map<K, V>
sortMapByValues(final Map <K, V> mapToSort)
{
    List<Map.Entry<K, V>> entries =
        new ArrayList<Map.Entry<K, V>>(mapToSort.size());  

    entries.addAll(mapToSort.entrySet());

    Collections.sort(entries,
                     new Comparator<Map.Entry<K, V>>()
    {
        @Override
        public int compare(
               final Map.Entry<K, V> entry1,
               final Map.Entry<K, V> entry2)
        {
            return entry1.getValue().compareTo(entry2.getValue());
        }
    });      

    Map<K, V> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<K, V>();      

    for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : entries)
    {
        sortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());

    }      

    return sortedMap;

}
