java map sort by value descending code example

Example: java treemap sort by value in reverse

Map<String, Integer> unSortedMap = getUnSortedMap();
         
System.out.println("Unsorted Map : " + unSortedMap);
 
//LinkedHashMap preserve the ordering of elements in which they are inserted
LinkedHashMap<String, Integer> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
 
unSortedMap.entrySet()
    .stream()
    .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue())
    .forEachOrdered(x -> sortedMap.put(x.getKey(), x.getValue()));
 
System.out.println("Sorted Map   : " + sortedMap);
 
Output:
 
Unsorted Map : {alex=1, charles=4, david=2, brian=5, elle=3}
Sorted Map   : {alex=1, david=2, elle=3, charles=4, brian=5}
