使用通用比较器，例如：

final class MapValueComparator<K,V extends Comparable<V>> implements Comparator<K> {
    private final Map<K,V> map;
    
    private MapValueComparator() {
        super();
    }
    
    public MapValueComparator(Map<K,V> map) {
        this();
        this.map = map;
    }
        
    public int compare(K o1, K o2) {
        return map.get(o1).compareTo(map.get(o2));
    }
}

要使用Java 8中的新功能实现这一点，请执行以下操作：

import static java.util.Map.Entry.comparingByValue;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toList;

<K, V> List<Entry<K, V>> sort(Map<K, V> map, Comparator<? super V> comparator) {
    return map.entrySet().stream().sorted(comparingByValue(comparator)).collect(toList());
}

条目使用给定的比较器按其值排序。或者，如果您的值可以相互比较，则不需要显式比较器：

<K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> List<Entry<K, V>> sort(Map<K, V> map) {
    return map.entrySet().stream().sorted(comparingByValue()).collect(toList());
}

返回的列表是调用此方法时给定映射的快照，因此两者都不会反映对另一个的后续更改。对于地图的实时可迭代视图：

<K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Iterable<Entry<K, V>> sort(Map<K, V> map) {
    return () -> map.entrySet().stream().sorted(comparingByValue()).iterator();
}

返回的可迭代对象在每次迭代时都会创建给定映射的新快照，因此除非并发修改，否则它将始终反映映射的当前状态。

创建自定义比较器，并在创建新的TreeMap对象时使用它。

class MyComparator implements Comparator<Object> {

    Map<String, Integer> map;

    public MyComparator(Map<String, Integer> map) {
        this.map = map;
    }

    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {

        if (map.get(o2) == map.get(o1))
            return 1;
        else
            return ((Integer) map.get(o2)).compareTo((Integer)     
                                                            map.get(o1));

    }
}

在主函数中使用以下代码

    Map<String, Integer> lMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    lMap.put("A", 35);
    lMap.put("B", 75);
    lMap.put("C", 50);
    lMap.put("D", 50);

    MyComparator comparator = new MyComparator(lMap);

    Map<String, Integer> newMap = new TreeMap<String, Integer>(comparator);
    newMap.putAll(lMap);
    System.out.println(newMap);

输出：

{B=75, D=50, C=50, A=35}

如果您的Map值实现Comparable（例如String），那么这应该会起作用

Map<Object, String> map = new HashMap<Object, String>();
// Populate the Map
List<String> mapValues = new ArrayList<String>(map.values());
Collections.sort(mapValues);

如果映射值本身没有实现Comparable，但您有一个Comparable实例可以对它们进行排序，请将最后一行替换为：

Collections.sort(mapValues, comparable);

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。
