java then,如何在Java流中使用thenComparing

I have a map with strings as values. I want to sort it firstly by length, and if length of the strings is the same, i want to sort it alphabetic.

I wrote those code :

String out = outMap.values().stream()

.sorted(Comparator.comparing(e -> e.length()).thenComparing()...)

.collect(Collectors.joining());

The problem is, when i am writing thenComparing, I couldn't use e.length() anymore. How can i fix it?

EDIT : Map . I want to sort the strings and make one string in output by concat all of them.

解决方案

How about

String out = outMap.values().stream()

.sorted(Comparator.comparingInt(String::length)

.thenComparing(Comparator.naturalOrder()))

//OR .thenComparing(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER))

.collect(Collectors.joining());
