sort the map by key, from low to high, using sortBy
:
scala> import scala.collection.immutable.ListMap import scala.collection.immutable.ListMap scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortBy(_._1):_*) res0: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Al -> 85, Emily -> 91, Hannah -> 92, Kim -> 90, Melissa -> 95)
sort the keys in ascending or descending order using sortWith:
// low to high scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortWith(_._1 < _._1):_*) res0: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Al -> 85, Emily -> 91, Hannah -> 92, Kim -> 90, Melissa -> 95) // high to low scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortWith(_._1 > _._1):_*) res1: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Melissa -> 95, Kim -> 90, Hannah -> 92, Emily -> 91, Al -> 85)
sort the map by value using sortBy
:
scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortBy(_._2):_*) res0: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Al -> 85, Kim -> 90, Emily -> 91, Hannah -> 92, Melissa -> 95)
sort by value in ascending or descending order using sortWith
:
// low to high scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortWith(_._2 < _._2):_*) res0: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Al -> 85, Kim -> 90, Emily -> 91, Hannah -> 92, Melissa -> 95) // high to low scala> ListMap(grades.toSeq.sortWith(_._2 > _._2):_*) res1: scala.collection.immutable.ListMap[String,Int] = Map(Melissa -> 95, Hannah -> 92, Emily -> 91, Kim -> 90, Al -> 85)
how to use a LinkedHashMap
and assign the result to a new variable:
scala> val x = collection.mutable.LinkedHashMap(grades.toSeq.sortBy(_._1):_*) x: scala.collection.mutable.LinkedHashMap[String,Int] = Map(Al -> 85, Emily -> 91, Hannah -> 92, Kim -> 90, Melissa -> 95) scala> x.foreach(println) (Al,85) (Emily,91) (Hannah,92) (Kim,90) (Melissa,95)
