package com.appkart.array;

import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.TreeMap;

public class SortExample {

    Map map = new HashMap();
    Map treemap = new TreeMap(
            new MyComparator(map));

    public void addValueInMapAndSort() {
        map.put("string1", 40);
        map.put("string2", 32);
        map.put("string3", 34);

        System.out.println(map);
        treemap.putAll(map);
        System.out.println(treemap);
    }


    class MyComparator implements Comparator {

        Map map;

        public MyComparator(Map map) {
            this.map = map;
        }

        @Override
        public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
            if (map.get(o1) >= map.get(o2)) {
                return 1;
            } else {
                return -1;
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SortExample example = new SortExample();
        example.addValueInMapAndSort();
    }
}

Use Comparator for sorting according to value.
