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

因为地图是无序的要对其进行排序，我们可以执行以下操作

Map<String, String> map= new TreeMap<String, String>(unsortMap);

您应该注意，与哈希映射不同，树映射保证其元素将按升序键排序。

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());
  }
}

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}

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。

虽然我同意对地图进行排序的持续需要可能是一种气味，但我认为以下代码是在不使用不同数据结构的情况下进行排序的最简单方法。

public class MapUtilities {

public static <K, V extends Comparable<V>> List<Entry<K, V>> sortByValue(Map<K, V> map) {
    List<Entry<K, V>> entries = new ArrayList<Entry<K, V>>(map.entrySet());
    Collections.sort(entries, new ByValue<K, V>());
    return entries;
}

private static class ByValue<K, V extends Comparable<V>> implements Comparator<Entry<K, V>> {
    public int compare(Entry<K, V> o1, Entry<K, V> o2) {
        return o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue());
    }
}

}

这里有一个令人尴尬的不完整单元测试：

public class MapUtilitiesTest extends TestCase {
public void testSorting() {
    HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    map.put("One", 1);
    map.put("Two", 2);
    map.put("Three", 3);

    List<Map.Entry<String, Integer>> sorted = MapUtilities.sortByValue(map);
    assertEquals("First", "One", sorted.get(0).getKey());
    assertEquals("Second", "Two", sorted.get(1).getKey());
    assertEquals("Third", "Three", sorted.get(2).getKey());
}

}

结果是Map.Entry对象的排序列表，您可以从中获取键和值。
