Sort Hashtable by Values & retrive key-value pair

[AMIT ARADHYE]

Hi All Professionals,
I want to sort two diff. Hashtables by "values".
First Hashtable contains key(String type)- value(String) pairs.
Second Hashtable contains key(String type)- value(Integer) pairs.
FYI I am populating them as...
first.put("20030120",new Integer (56));
first.put("20030118",new Integer (19));
first.put("20030125",new Integer (25));
first.put("20030122",new Integer (32));
first.put("20030117",new Integer (67));
first.put("20030123",new Integer (34));
first.put("20030124",new Integer (42));
first.put("20030121",new Integer (19));
first.put("20030119",new Integer (98));
other ...like this....
second.put("chetooo105","44");
second.put("19tandf127","1");
second.put("18januah140","3");
second.put("Guest79","1");
second.put("18janrout115","1");
second.put("21jantandfnew2152","10");
second.put("19janetailer118","4");
second.put("Au1410113","10");
Can any one guide me to sort these both by values and retrive a kay-value pair from sorted entity?
Thanks

Hi Amit,
That is as may be, but we want to sort different forums by "subject matter". So the idea is that you don't post the very same question in multiple places :roll:
Of the three places where you posted this,Java in General (Intermediate) seems to be spot on. Please follow up there
