您可以尝试Guava的多功能地图：

TreeMap<Integer, Collection<String>> sortedMap = new TreeMap<>(
        Multimaps.invertFrom(Multimaps.forMap(originalMap), 
        ArrayListMultimap.<Integer, String>create()).asMap());

因此，您将获得从原始值到对应于它们的键集合的映射。即使同一值有多个键，也可以使用此方法。

    static <K extends Comparable<? super K>, V extends Comparable<? super V>>
    Map sortByValueInDescendingOrder(final Map<K, V> map) {
        Map re = new TreeMap(new Comparator<K>() {
            @Override
            public int compare(K o1, K o2) {
                if (map.get(o1) == null || map.get(o2) == null) {
                    return -o1.compareTo(o2);
                }
                int result = -map.get(o1).compareTo(map.get(o2));
                if (result != 0) {
                    return result;
                }
                return -o1.compareTo(o2);
            }
        });
        re.putAll(map);
        return re;
    }
    @Test(timeout = 3000l, expected = Test.None.class)
    public void testSortByValueInDescendingOrder() {
        char[] arr = "googler".toCharArray();
        Map<Character, Integer> charToTimes = new HashMap();
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            Integer times = charToTimes.get(arr[i]);
            charToTimes.put(arr[i], times == null ? 1 : times + 1);
        }
        Map sortedByTimes = sortByValueInDescendingOrder(charToTimes);
        Assert.assertEquals(charToTimes.toString(), "{g=2, e=1, r=1, o=2, l=1}");
        Assert.assertEquals(sortedByTimes.toString(), "{o=2, g=2, r=1, l=1, e=1}");
        Assert.assertEquals(sortedByTimes.containsKey('a'), false);
        Assert.assertEquals(sortedByTimes.get('a'), null);
        Assert.assertEquals(sortedByTimes.get('g'), 2);
        Assert.assertEquals(sortedByTimes.equals(charToTimes), true);
    }

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。

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。

这是Anthony答案的变体，如果存在重复值，则该答案无效：

public static <K, V extends Comparable<V>> Map<K, V> sortMapByValues(final Map<K, V> map) {
    Comparator<K> valueComparator =  new Comparator<K>() {
        public int compare(K k1, K k2) {
            final V v1 = map.get(k1);
            final V v2 = map.get(k2);

            /* Not sure how to handle nulls ... */
            if (v1 == null) {
                return (v2 == null) ? 0 : 1;
            }

            int compare = v2.compareTo(v1);
            if (compare != 0)
            {
                return compare;
            }
            else
            {
                Integer h1 = k1.hashCode();
                Integer h2 = k2.hashCode();
                return h2.compareTo(h1);
            }
        }
    };
    Map<K, V> sortedByValues = new TreeMap<K, V>(valueComparator);
    sortedByValues.putAll(map);
    return sortedByValues;
}

注意，如何处理空值还很难说。

这种方法的一个重要优点是它实际上返回了一个Map，这与这里提供的其他解决方案不同。

对于按关键字排序，我找到了一个更好的TreeMap解决方案（我也会尝试为基于值的排序准备一个解决方案）：

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);
        }};

    Map<String, String> sorted = new TreeMap<String, String>(comparer);
    sorted.putAll(unsorted);
    System.out.println(sorted);
}

输出将是：

｛Abc=Abc_Value，Bcd=Bcd_Value，Cde=Cde_Value｝
