我们只需像这样对地图进行排序

            Map<String, String> unsortedMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

    unsortedMap.put("E", "E Val");
    unsortedMap.put("F", "F Val");
    unsortedMap.put("H", "H Val");
    unsortedMap.put("B", "B Val");
    unsortedMap.put("C", "C Val");
    unsortedMap.put("A", "A Val");
    unsortedMap.put("G", "G Val");
    unsortedMap.put("D", "D Val");

    Map<String, String> sortedMap = new TreeMap<String, String>(unsortedMap);

    System.out.println("\nAfter sorting..");
    for (Map.Entry <String, String> mapEntry : sortedMap.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(mapEntry.getKey() + " \t" + mapEntry.getValue());

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

这还有一个额外的好处，即可以使用Java8进行升序或降序排序

import static java.util.Comparator.comparingInt;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toMap;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

class Utils {
    public static Map<String, Integer> sortMapBasedOnValues(Map<String, Integer> map, boolean descending) {
        int multiplyBy = (descending) ? -1: 1;
        Map<String, Integer> sorted =  map.entrySet().stream()
                .sorted(comparingInt(e -> multiplyBy * e.getValue() ))
                .collect(toMap(
                        Map.Entry::getKey, 
                        Map.Entry::getValue,
                        (a, b) -> { throw new AssertionError();},
                        LinkedHashMap::new
                    ));
        return sorted;
    }
}

使用LinkedList

//Create a list by HashMap
List<Map.Entry<String, Double>> list = new LinkedList<>(hashMap.entrySet());

//Sorting the list
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Double>>() {
    public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Double> o1, Map.Entry<String, Double> o2) {
        return (o1.getValue()).compareTo(o2.getValue());
    }
});

//put data from sorted list to hashmap
HashMap<String, Double> sortedData = new LinkedHashMap<>();
for (Map.Entry<String, Double> data : list) {
    sortedData.put(data.getKey(), data.getValue());
}

System.out.print(sortedData);

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;
    }
}

最好的方法是将HashMap转换为TreeMap。TreeMap自己排序键。如果您希望对值进行排序，则可以快速修复，如果您的值不重复，则可以使用键切换值。
