TreeMap could be used to sort the map by value
Map<Character, Integer> sorted = new TreeMap<>((o1, o2) -> comparator.compare(map.get(o2), map.get(o1))); sorted.putAll(map);however, there is a caveat there. if the values are the same, treemap would drop the entry (technically, update the value for existing key to the same value as the new key supposed to be inserted).
the trick is to override the equals condition
Map<Character, Integer> sorted = new TreeMap<>((o1, o2) -> map.get(o2) - map.get(o1) <= 0 ? -1: 1); sorted.putAll(map);Published
