在Java中按值对Map进行排序

Question

我正在尝试排序java.util.Map如下.

public final class SortMapByValue <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> implements Comparator<Map.Entry<K, V>>
{
    @Override
    public int compare(Entry<K, V> o1, Entry<K, V> o2) {
        return (o1.getValue()).compareTo(o2.getValue());
    }

    public static <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Map<K, V> sortMapByValue(Map<K, V> unsortedMap)
    {
        List<Map.Entry<K, V>> list = new LinkedList<Map.Entry<K, V>>(unsortedMap.entrySet());            
        Collections.sort(list);  //Compiler error here.
        Map<K, V> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<K, V>();

        for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : list) {
            sortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
        }
        return sortedMap;
    }
}

如代码中所述,它发出编译时错误,如下所示.

no suitable method found for sort(List<Entry<K,V>>)
    method Collections.<T#1>sort(List<T#1>,Comparator<? super T#1>) is not applicable
      (cannot instantiate from arguments because actual and formal argument lists differ in length)
    method Collections.<T#2>sort(List<T#2>) is not applicable
      (inferred type does not conform to declared bound(s)
        inferred: Entry<K,V>
        bound(s): Comparable<? super Entry<K,V>>)
  where K,V,T#1,T#2 are type-variables:
    K extends Object declared in method <K,V>sortMapByValue(Map<K,V>)
    V extends Comparable<? super V> declared in method <K,V>sortMapByValue(Map<K,V>)
    T#1 extends Object declared in method <T#1>sort(List<T#1>,Comparator<? super T#1>)
    T#2 extends Comparable<? super T#2> declared in method <T#2>sort(List<T#2>)

这也可以在以下方法中以下列方式完成sortMapByValue().

Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<K, V>>()
{
    @Override
    public int compare(Map.Entry<K, V> o1, Map.Entry<K, V> o2) {
        return (o1.getValue()).compareTo(o2.getValue());
    }
});

但相反,我想修复错误以遵循这种方式(避免这个匿名比较器).如何解决这个错误？

Answer 1

Map.Entry没有实现Comparable,所以Collections.sort(List<Entry>)无法知道如何对条目进行排序.所以你必须提供一个比较器.

但由于您SortMapByValue已经实现了Comparator接口,因此您只需使用该类的实例:

Collections.sort(list, new SortMapByValue<>());

另请注意,使用Java 8可以显着减少代码的长度:

public static <K, V extends Comparable<? super V>> Map<K, V> sortMapByValue(Map<K, V> unsortedMap) {
    return unsortedMap.entrySet().stream()
            .sorted(comparing(Entry::getValue))
            .collect(toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue, (e1,e2) -> e1, LinkedHashMap::new));
}
