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));
    }
}

从…起http://www.programmersheaven.com/download/49349/download.aspx

private static <K, V> Map<K, V> sortByValue(Map<K, V> map) {
    List<Entry<K, V>> list = new LinkedList<>(map.entrySet());
    Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Object>() {
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
            return ((Comparable<V>) ((Map.Entry<K, V>) (o1)).getValue()).compareTo(((Map.Entry<K, V>) (o2)).getValue());
        }
    });

    Map<K, V> result = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    for (Iterator<Entry<K, V>> it = list.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
        Map.Entry<K, V> entry = (Map.Entry<K, V>) it.next();
        result.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
    }

    return result;
}

我建议使用Arrays.sort，而不是像某些人那样使用Collections.ort。实际上Collections.ort的作用是这样的：

public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list) {
    Object[] a = list.toArray();
    Arrays.sort(a);
    ListIterator<T> i = list.listIterator();
    for (int j=0; j<a.length; j++) {
        i.next();
        i.set((T)a[j]);
    }
}

它只调用列表上的array，然后使用Arrays.sort。这样，所有映射条目将被复制三次：一次从映射复制到临时列表（无论是LinkedList还是ArrayList），然后复制到临时数组，最后复制到新映射。

我的解决方案省略了这一步，因为它不会创建不必要的LinkedList。以下是代码，通用友好，性能最佳：

public static <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Map<K, V> sortByValue(Map<K, V> map) 
{
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    Map.Entry<K,V>[] array = map.entrySet().toArray(new Map.Entry[map.size()]);

    Arrays.sort(array, new Comparator<Map.Entry<K, V>>() 
    {
        public int compare(Map.Entry<K, V> e1, Map.Entry<K, V> e2) 
        {
            return e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue());
        }
    });

    Map<K, V> result = new LinkedHashMap<K, V>();
    for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : array)
        result.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());

    return result;
}

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);

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。

根据上下文，使用java.util.LinkedHashMap<T>来记住项目在映射中的放置顺序。否则，如果您需要根据值的自然排序对值进行排序，我建议您维护一个单独的List，该List可以通过Collections.sort（）进行排序。
