Question

I need a Collection that sorts the element, but does not removes the duplicates.

I have gone for a TreeSet, since TreeSet actu

Answer 1

I need all the fundCode with highest fundValue

If that's the only reason why you want to sort I would recommend not to sort at all. Sorting comes mostly with a complexity of O(n log(n)). Finding the maximum has only a complexity of O(n) and is implemented in a simple iteration over your list:

List maxFunds = new ArrayList();
int max = 0;
for (Fund fund : funds) {
    if (fund.getFundValue() > max) {
        maxFunds.clear();
        max = fund.getFundValue();

    }
    if (fund.getFundValue() == max) {
        maxFunds.add(fund);

    }
}

You can avoid that code by using a third level library like Guava. See: How to get max() element from List in Guava
