Groovy custom sort a map by value

Question

I have a map such as

m=[
     \"james\":\"silly boy\",
     \"janny\":\"Crazy girl\",
     \"jimmy\":\"funny man\",
     \"georges\":\"massive fella\"
];
         


        

Answer 1

BTW, here is code which is showing different sorting with and without toLowerCase():

Map m =[ james  :"silly boy",
         janny  :"crazy girl",
         jimmy  :"Funny man",
         georges:"massive fella" ]
Map sorted = m.sort { a, b -> a.value <=> b.value }
println sorted
sorted = m.sort { a, b -> a.value.toLowerCase() <=> b.value.toLowerCase() }
println sorted

And wll print:

[jimmy:Funny man, janny:crazy girl, georges:massive fella, james:silly boy]
[janny:crazy girl, jimmy:Funny man, georges:massive fella, james:silly boy]
