How to sort Map by key





   This   example   explain   how  you    sort   map by  key  using   java8  . Using  java 8  we

   do   following  steps 


  1. Convert a Map into a Stream
  2. Sort it
  3. Collect and return a new LinkedHashMap (keep the order)
    example  follows  same  steps    coding  as   which  explain  below. 


package Java8;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class SortMapByKey {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Map unsortMap = new HashMap<>();
        unsortMap.put("z", 10);
        unsortMap.put("b", 5);
        unsortMap.put("r", 6);
        unsortMap.put("a", 20);
        unsortMap.put("d", 1);
        unsortMap.put("e", 7);
        unsortMap.put("y", 8);
        unsortMap.put("n", 99);
        unsortMap.put("q", 50);
        unsortMap.put("m", 2);
        unsortMap.put("p", 9);
        unsortMap.put("c", 9);

        System.out.println("Original...");
        System.out.println(unsortMap);

        // sort by keys, a,b,c..., and return a new LinkedHashMap
        // toMap() will returns HashMap by default, we need LinkedHashMap to keep
          the order.


        Map result = unsortMap.entrySet().stream()

                .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByKey())

                .collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey, Map.Entry::getValue,
                        (oldValue, newValue) -> oldValue, LinkedHashMap::new));


        // Not Recommend, but it works.
        //Alternative way to sort a Map by keys, and put it into the "result" map

        Map result2 = new LinkedHashMap<>();

        unsortMap.entrySet().stream()
                .sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByKey())
                .forEachOrdered(x -> result2.put(x.getKey(), x.getValue()));

        System.out.println("Sorted...");
        System.out.println(result);
       System.out.println("Sceond way of sorting.");
        System.out.println(result2);

    }

}


    Out put   this  code  is .



Original...
{p=9, a=20, q=50, b=5, r=6, c=9, d=1, e=7, y=8, z=10, m=2, n=99}
Sorted...
{a=20, b=5, c=9, d=1, e=7, m=2, n=99, p=9, q=50, r=6, y=8, z=10}
Sceond way of sorting.
{a=20, b=5, c=9, d=1, e=7, m=2, n=99, p=9, q=50, r=6, y=8, z=10}
