Sorting in map

HI all,

 

I want to do sorting of map based on value. here is code:

 

for (Pricebook2 pb : [select id, Name from Pricebook2 where id in :ids order by name])
        {
            myPBNames.put(pb.id, pb.name);
        }

 

Results are got sorted based on id. But i want this should be based on name.

 

Even Order by is not working. Please suggest.

i checked this one. But didnt get proper solution. Is it possible to use order by in query so that results are sorted.

Yes, but you are telling that the previous code is not ordering by name.

 

Check this if it helps

when i check values of map by accmap.get(key). it shows sorted values but when i try to print accmap. Order is still same.

same issue: map shows values in same order.

@Kamal - This is the characteristic of a Map - sort order of elements is not guaranteed. You will have to build a map of name, Id pairs. Then build a list from the map.keySet. Sort this list and then iterate through it. The most obvious flaw with this approach is the assumption that the name is unique. The other alternative is to build your own sorting algorithm while iterating through the map.

All values are unique so no issue with that. I tried this portion of code. when i print simply values of map it shows sorted values. But when i try to print full maporder is still.

 

Is there some other way that i can sort it in java script. Please provide some code

My original map is MyPBNames

 

 

MAP<string , List<String>>  reverseMap =  new MAP<string , List<String>>();

List<String> tempL = new List<String>();
for(String k : myPBNames.KeySet())
          {
                 if(reverseMap.containsKey(myPBNames.get(k)))      
                { 
                        
                       tempL =reverseMap.get(myPBNames.get(k));
               }  
               else
                 tempL = new List<String>();
          
              tempL.add(k);
              reverseMap.put(myPBNames.get(k) , tempL);
           }



List<String> aList = new List<String>();
aList.addAll(myPBNames.keySet());
List<string> value= new List<string>();
Set<String> key = new Set<String>();
for(String s : aList)
{
value.add(myPBNames.get(s));
}
value.sort();

List<string> descValue = new List<string>();
for(Integer i=value.size()-1; i>=0;i--)
{
descValue.add(value.get(i));
}

List<String> sortedKey = new List<String>();
for(string d : descValue)
{
         sortedKey.addAll(reverseMap.get(d));  
}

//I have debug values coming out of map are in reverse sorted error
system.debug('*************** Sorted KEy : '+ sortedKey);
for(String finalK : sortedKey)
  {
         System.debug('***************   Fianl Ordered MAP '+ myPBNames.get(finalK));
        // myPBNames1.put(finalk,myPBNames.get(finalK));
  }
 
//end sorting

Hi ,

Are you able to get a workaround for this Map<id,Name>.

I need same issue solution I want to sort by Name. Please post me the solution if you have anything.

Thank you,
Aruna.
