Sort tree map values from biggest to smallest ?

Hi. Whats the easiest way to sort key values in a TreeMap from biggest to smallest and loop through them to send to a player? Example:

TreeMap contains 3 keys like so:
- String1 | 2
- String2 | 1
- String3 | 3
Player types command
It sorts the values from biggest to smallest like so:
- String3 | 3
- String1 | 2
- String2 | 1
It loops through the keys and sends a message to the player like:

Code:java

 
// for loop
player.sendMessage(TreeMap);
 

and it should return to the player like so:

"3"
"2"
"1"

Thanks in advance!

 

Code:java

 
TreeMap<String, Integer> map = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("werter318", 3);
map.put("Runelink2", 1);
map.put("baron951", 2);
NavigableMap<String, Integer> descMap = map.descendingMap();
Set<String> keySet = descMap.keySet();
for(String key : keySet){
int value = descMap .get(key);
System.out.println(key + " - " + value);
}

There you go

Thanks very much it's doing well but it's putting the key into alphabetical order instead of the value in descending number order. How can I change this?

 

ThunderWaffeMC The code I posted works fine for me :-/... puts the value in descending order.

 

Are you sure? Does that mean it's printing this for you: ?

3
2
1

It may be a problem with my values.

Yep, working fine for me too, just tested it. Prints out:

Code:

werter318 - 3
baron951 - 2
Runelink2 - 1

If this doesn't work for you, then may I see how you use it?

 

Did you make the map <Integer, String> ?

Well I think it's because the values in my config file are set like so:

Player1: '1'
Player2: '3'
Player3: '2'

If I keep it like that, it responds with the value being 0. When I remove the apostrophes, the order stays the same. Any idea on what I can do?

My TreeMap is string, integer: TreeMap<String, Integer> members = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
And so is my nav map: NavigableMap<String, Integer> descMap = members.descendingMap();

you can even use Arrays.Sort

 

werter318 Assist Louis1234567890987654321 I found that it is actually putting the key in alphabetical order and not the value in number order. My test:

Code:java

 
                    if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
                        if(args.length == 1) {
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.Creeper_Fever.Overall", 2);
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.Creeper_Fever.Current", 2);
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.Thunder_Waffe.Overall", 1);
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.Thunder_Waffe.Current", 1);
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.DiamondLeggings.Overall", 3);
                            plugin.getCustomConfig().set("Town.Funds.DiamondLeggings.Current", 3);
                            plugin.saveCustomConfig();
                            plugin.reloadCustomConfig();
                            TreeMap<String, Integer> map = new TreeMap<String, Integer>();
                            map.put("Thunder_Waffe", plugin.getCustomConfig().getInt("Town.Funds.Thunder_Waffe.Current"));
                            map.put("Creeper_Fever", plugin.getCustomConfig().getInt("Town.Funds.Creeper_Fever.Current"));
                            map.put("DiamondLeggings", plugin.getCustomConfig().getInt("Town.Funds.DiamondLeggings.Current"));
                            map.put("Zedr", 6);
                            map.put("Abba", 4);
                            map.put("Aaba", 5);
                            NavigableMap<String, Integer> descMap = map.descendingMap();
                            Set<String> keySet = descMap.keySet();
                            for(String key : keySet){
                                int value = descMap.get(key);
                                System.out.println(key + " - " + value);
                            }
                        }
                    }
 

Prints out:

Zedr - 6
Thunder_Waffe - 1
DiamondLeggings - 3
Creeper_Fever - 2
Abba - 4
Aaba - 5
