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;
    }

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");
    hm.put(2, "panipat singh");
    hm.put(28, "jakarta singh");

    ArrayList<String> al=new ArrayList(hm.values());
    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());
            }
        } 
     }
  }
}

class myComparator implements Comparator{
    @Override
    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
       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

在Java 8及以上版本中对任何地图进行排序的简单方法

Map<String, Object> mapToSort = new HashMap<>();

List<Map.Entry<String, Object>> list = new LinkedList<>(mapToSort.entrySet());

Collections.sort(list, Comparator.comparing(o -> o.getValue().getAttribute()));

HashMap<String, Object> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> map : list) {
   sortedMap.put(map.getKey(), map.getValue());
}

如果您使用的是Java 7及以下版本

Map<String, Object> mapToSort = new HashMap<>();

List<Map.Entry<String, Object>> list = new LinkedList<>(mapToSort.entrySet());

Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Object>>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Object> o1, Map.Entry<String, Object> o2) {
       return o1.getValue().getAttribute().compareTo(o2.getValue().getAttribute());      
    }
});

HashMap<String, Object> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> map : list) {
   sortedMap.put(map.getKey(), map.getValue());
}

以下是Java8的代码，使用算盘

Map<String, Integer> map = N.asMap("a", 2, "b", 3, "c", 1, "d", 2);
Map<String, Integer> sortedMap = Stream.of(map.entrySet()).sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue()).toMap(e -> e.getKey(), e -> e.getValue(),
    LinkedHashMap::new);
N.println(sortedMap);
// output: {c=1, a=2, d=2, b=3}

声明：我是算盘通用的开发者。

    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}

    

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;
    }
}
