TreeMap sort by value

Question

I want to write a comparator that will let me sort a TreeMap by value instead of the default natural ordering.

I tried something like this, but can\'t find out what

Answer 1

In Java 8:

LinkedHashMap sortedMap = 
    map.entrySet().stream().
    sorted(Entry.comparingByValue()).
    collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue,
                             (e1, e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));
