为每个值创建一个条目列表，其中对值进行排序需要Java 8或更高版本

Map<Double,List<Entry<String,Double>>> sorted =
map.entrySet().stream().collect( Collectors.groupingBy( Entry::getValue, TreeMap::new,
    Collectors.mapping( Function.identity(), Collectors.toList() ) ) );

使用映射{[A=99.5]，[B=67.4]，[C=67.3]，[D=67.3]}得到{67.3=[D=67.3]，67.4=[B=67.4，C=67.4]，99.5=[A=99.5]}

…以及如何逐个访问每个条目：

sorted.entrySet().forEach( e -> e.getValue().forEach( l -> System.out.println( l ) ) );

D=67.3 B=67.4 C=67.4 A=99.5

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;
    }
}

最佳方法

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.Map.Entry; 

public class OrderByValue {

  public static void main(String a[]){
    Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    map.put("java", 20);
    map.put("C++", 45);
    map.put("Unix", 67);
    map.put("MAC", 26);
    map.put("Why this kolavari", 93);
    Set<Entry<String, Integer>> set = map.entrySet();
    List<Entry<String, Integer>> list = new ArrayList<Entry<String, Integer>>(set);
    Collections.sort( list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>()
    {
        public int compare( Map.Entry<String, Integer> o1, Map.Entry<String, Integer> o2 )
        {
            return (o1.getValue()).compareTo( o2.getValue() );//Ascending order
            //return (o2.getValue()).compareTo( o1.getValue() );//Descending order
        }
    } );
    for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry:list){
        System.out.println(entry.getKey()+" ==== "+entry.getValue());
    }
  }}

输出

java ==== 20

MAC ==== 26

C++ ==== 45

Unix ==== 67

Why this kolavari ==== 93

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;
    }
}

这可以用java8非常容易地实现

public static LinkedHashMap<Integer, String> sortByValue(HashMap<Integer, String> map) {

        List<Map.Entry<Integer, String>> list = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
        list.sort(Map.Entry.comparingByValue());
        LinkedHashMap<Integer, String> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        list.forEach(e -> sortedMap.put(e.getKey(), e.getValue()));
        return sortedMap;
    }

这里有一个OO解决方案（即，不使用静态方法）：

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class SortableValueMap<K, V extends Comparable<V>>
  extends LinkedHashMap<K, V> {
  public SortableValueMap() { }

  public SortableValueMap( Map<K, V> map ) {
    super( map );
  }

  public void sortByValue() {
    List<Map.Entry<K, V>> list = new LinkedList<Map.Entry<K, V>>( entrySet() );

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

    clear();

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

  private static void print( String text, Map<String, Double> map ) {
    System.out.println( text );

    for( String key : map.keySet() ) {
      System.out.println( "key/value: " + key + "/" + map.get( key ) );
    }
  }

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    SortableValueMap<String, Double> map =
      new SortableValueMap<String, Double>();

    map.put( "A", 67.5 );
    map.put( "B", 99.5 );
    map.put( "C", 82.4 );
    map.put( "D", 42.0 );

    print( "Unsorted map", map );
    map.sortByValue();
    print( "Sorted map", map );
  }
}
