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));
    }
}

HashMap＜String，Long＞的最简单的暴力排序HashMap方法：您可以复制粘贴它，然后这样使用：

public class Test  {
    public static void main(String[] args)  {
        HashMap<String, Long> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
        hashMap.put("Cat", (long) 4);
        hashMap.put("Human", (long) 2);
        hashMap.put("Dog", (long) 4);
        hashMap.put("Fish", (long) 0);
        hashMap.put("Tree", (long) 1);
        hashMap.put("Three-legged-human", (long) 3);
        hashMap.put("Monkey", (long) 2);

        System.out.println(hashMap);  //{Human=2, Cat=4, Three-legged-human=3, Monkey=2, Fish=0, Tree=1, Dog=4}
        System.out.println(sortHashMap(hashMap));  //{Cat=4, Dog=4, Three-legged-human=3, Human=2, Monkey=2, Tree=1, Fish=0}
    }

    public LinkedHashMap<String, Long> sortHashMap(HashMap<String, Long> unsortedMap)  {
        LinkedHashMap<String, Long> result = new LinkedHashMap<>();

        //add String keys to an array: the array would get sorted, based on those keys' values
        ArrayList<String> sortedKeys = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String key: unsortedMap.keySet())  {
            sortedKeys.add(key);
        }

        //sort the ArrayList<String> of keys    
        for (int i=0; i<unsortedMap.size(); i++)  {
            for (int j=1; j<sortedKeys.size(); j++)  {
                if (unsortedMap.get(sortedKeys.get(j)) > unsortedMap.get(sortedKeys.get(j-1))) {
                    String temp = sortedKeys.get(j);
                    sortedKeys.set(j, sortedKeys.get(j-1));
                    sortedKeys.set(j-1, temp);
                }
            }
        }

        // construct the result Map
        for (String key: sortedKeys)  {
            result.put(key, unsortedMap.get(key));
        }

        return result;
    }
}

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;
    }
}

对于Java 8，您可以使用streams api以一种明显不那么冗长的方式来实现：

Map<K, V> sortedMap = map.entrySet().stream()
                         .sorted(Entry.comparingByValue())
                         .collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue, (e1, e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));

map = your hashmap;

List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> list = new LinkedList<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>(map.entrySet());
Collections.sort(list, new cm());//IMP

HashMap<String, Integer> sorted = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> en: list){
    sorted.put(en.getKey(),en.getValue());
}

System.out.println(sorted);//sorted hashmap

创建新类

class cm implements Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>{
    @Override
    public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> a, 
                            Map.Entry<String, Integer> b)
    {
        return (a.getValue()).compareTo(b.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}
