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);

    Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("b", 2);
    map.put("a", 1);
    map.put("d", 4);
    map.put("c", 3);
    
    // ----- Using Java 7 -------------------
    List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> entries = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
    Collections.sort(entries, (o1, o2) -> o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue()));
    System.out.println(entries); // [a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4]


    // ----- Using Java 8 Stream API --------
   map.entrySet().stream().sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue()).forEach(System.out::println); // {a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4}

    

您可以尝试Guava的多功能地图：

TreeMap<Integer, Collection<String>> sortedMap = new TreeMap<>(
        Multimaps.invertFrom(Multimaps.forMap(originalMap), 
        ArrayListMultimap.<Integer, String>create()).asMap());

因此，您将获得从原始值到对应于它们的键集合的映射。即使同一值有多个键，也可以使用此方法。

基于@devinmore代码，一种使用泛型并支持升序和降序排序的map排序方法。

因为地图是无序的要对其进行排序，我们可以执行以下操作

Map<String, String> map= new TreeMap<String, String>(unsortMap);

您应该注意，与哈希映射不同，树映射保证其元素将按升序键排序。

如果没有大于地图大小的值，可以使用数组，这应该是最快的方法：

public List<String> getList(Map<String, Integer> myMap) {
    String[] copyArray = new String[myMap.size()];
    for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : myMap.entrySet()) {
        copyArray[entry.getValue()] = entry.getKey();
    }
    return Arrays.asList(copyArray);
}
