Just in case you don't wanna use a TreeMap

public static Map sortByKey(Map map) {
        List> list = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
        list.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(Map.Entry::getKey));
        Map sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        list.forEach(e -> sortedMap.put(e.getKey(), e.getValue()));
        return sortedMap;
    }

Also, in-case you wanted to sort your map on the basis of values just change Map.Entry::getKey to Map.Entry::getValue
