好的，这个版本使用两个新的Map对象和两次迭代，并对值进行排序。希望，虽然地图条目必须循环两次，但表现良好：

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Map<String, String> unsorted = new HashMap<String, String>();
    unsorted.put("Cde", "Cde_Value");
    unsorted.put("Abc", "Abc_Value");
    unsorted.put("Bcd", "Bcd_Value");

    Comparator<String> comparer = new Comparator<String>() {
        @Override
        public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
            return o1.compareTo(o2);
        }};

    System.out.println(sortByValue(unsorted, comparer));

}

public static <K, V> Map<K,V> sortByValue(Map<K, V> in, Comparator<? super V> compare) {
    Map<V, K> swapped = new TreeMap<V, K>(compare);
    for(Entry<K,V> entry: in.entrySet()) {
        if (entry.getValue() != null) {
            swapped.put(entry.getValue(), entry.getKey());
        }
    }
    LinkedHashMap<K, V> result = new LinkedHashMap<K, V>();
    for(Entry<V,K> entry: swapped.entrySet()) {
        if (entry.getValue() != null) {
            result.put(entry.getValue(), entry.getKey());
        }
    }
    return result;
}

该解决方案使用带有比较器的TreeMap，并对所有空键和值进行排序。首先，使用TreeMap中的排序功能对值进行排序，然后使用排序后的Map创建一个结果，因为LinkedHashMap保留了相同的值顺序。

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。

最干净的方法是利用集合对值进行排序：

Map<String, Long> map = new HashMap<String, Long>();
// populate with data to sort on Value
// use datastructure designed for sorting

Queue queue = new PriorityQueue( map.size(), new MapComparable() );
queue.addAll( map.entrySet() );

// get a sorted map
LinkedHashMap<String, Long> linkedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Long>();

for (Map.Entry<String, Long> entry; (entry = queue.poll())!=null;) {
    linkedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}

public static class MapComparable implements Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Long>>{

  public int compare(Entry<String, Long> e1, Entry<String, Long> e2) {
    return e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue());
  }
}

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

如果倾向于使用一个Map数据结构，该结构可以按值进行固有排序，而不必触发任何排序方法或显式传递给实用程序，则以下解决方案可能适用：

（1） org.rools.chance.core.util.ValueSortedMap（JBoss项目）在内部维护两个映射，一个用于查找，另一个用于维护排序值。与之前添加的答案非常相似，但可能是抽象和封装部分（包括复制机制）使其更安全地从外部使用。

(2) http://techblog.molindo.at/2008/11/java-map-sorted-by-value.html避免维护两个映射，而是依赖/扩展Apache Common的LinkedMap。（博客作者注：这里的所有代码都在公共领域）：

// required to access LinkEntry.before and LinkEntry.after
package org.apache.commons.collections.map;

// SNIP: imports

/**
* map implementation based on LinkedMap that maintains a sorted list of
* values for iteration
*/
public class ValueSortedHashMap extends LinkedMap {
    private final boolean _asc;

    // don't use super()!
    public ValueSortedHashMap(final boolean asc) {
        super(DEFAULT_CAPACITY);
        _asc = asc;
    }

    // SNIP: some more constructors with initial capacity and the like

    protected void addEntry(final HashEntry entry, final int hashIndex) {
        final LinkEntry link = (LinkEntry) entry;
        insertSorted(link);
        data[hashIndex] = entry;
    }

    protected void updateEntry(final HashEntry entry, final Object newValue) {
        entry.setValue(newValue);
        final LinkEntry link = (LinkEntry) entry;
        link.before.after = link.after;
        link.after.before = link.before;
        link.after = link.before = null;
        insertSorted(link);
    }

    private void insertSorted(final LinkEntry link) {
        LinkEntry cur = header;
        // iterate whole list, could (should?) be replaced with quicksearch
        // start at end to optimize speed for in-order insertions
        while ((cur = cur.before) != header & amp; & amp; !insertAfter(cur, link)) {}
        link.after = cur.after;
        link.before = cur;
        cur.after.before = link;
        cur.after = link;
    }

    protected boolean insertAfter(final LinkEntry cur, final LinkEntry link) {
        if (_asc) {
            return ((Comparable) cur.getValue())
            .compareTo((V) link.getValue()) & lt; = 0;
        } else {
            return ((Comparable) cur.getValue())
            .compareTo((V) link.getValue()) & gt; = 0;
        }
    }

    public boolean isAscending() {
        return _asc;
    }
}

（3） 编写一个自定义映射或从LinkedHashMap扩展，该映射仅在枚举期间根据需要进行排序（例如，values（）、keyset（）、entryset（））。内部实现/行为是从使用该类的实现/行为中抽象出来的，但在该类的客户端看来，当请求枚举时，值总是被排序的。如果所有的put操作都在枚举之前完成，这个类希望排序只发生一次。排序方法采用了前面对这个问题的一些回答。

public class SortByValueMap<K, V> implements Map<K, V> {

    private boolean isSortingNeeded = false;

    private final Map<K, V> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();

    @Override
    public V put(K key, V value) {
        isSortingNeeded = true;
        return map.put(key, value);
    }

    @Override
    public void putAll(Map<? extends K, ? extends V> map) {
        isSortingNeeded = true;
        map.putAll(map);
    }

    @Override
    public Set<K> keySet() {
        sort();
        return map.keySet();
    }

    @Override
    public Set<Entry<K, V>> entrySet() {
        sort();
        return map.entrySet();
    }

    @Override
    public Collection<V> values() {
        sort();
        return map.values();
    }

    private void sort() {
        if (!isSortingNeeded) {
            return;
        }

        List<Entry<K, V>> list = new ArrayList<>(size());

        for (Iterator<Map.Entry<K, V>> it = map.entrySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
            Map.Entry<K, V> entry = it.next();
            list.add(entry);
            it.remove();
        }

        Collections.sort(list);

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

        isSortingNeeded = false;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        sort();
        return map.toString();
    }
}

（4） Guava提供了ImmutableMap.Builder.orderEntriesByValue（Comparator valueComparator），尽管生成的映射是不可变的：

将此生成器配置为根据指定的比较器。排序顺序是稳定的，也就是说，如果两个条目的值作为等价项进行比较，首先插入的条目将是第一个按照构建映射的迭代顺序。
