You can not sort TreeMap on values.
A Red-Black tree based NavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the natural ordering of its keys, or by a Comparator provided at map creation time, depending on which constructor is used
You will need to providecomparator
forComparator<? super K>
so your comparator should compare on keys.
To provide sort on values you will need SortedSet. Use
SortedSet<Map.Entry<String, Double>> sortedset = new TreeSet<Map.Entry<String, Double>>(
new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Double>>() {
@Override
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Double> e1,
Map.Entry<String, Double> e2) {
return e1.getValue().compareTo(e2.getValue());
}
});
sortedset.addAll(myMap.entrySet());
To give you an example
SortedMap<String, Double> myMap = new TreeMap<String, Double>();
myMap.put("a", 10.0);
myMap.put("b", 9.0);
myMap.put("c", 11.0);
myMap.put("d", 2.0);
sortedset.addAll(myMap.entrySet());
System.out.println(sortedset);
Output:
[d=2.0, b=9.0, a=10.0, c=11.0]
