You need something like this:
import java.util.AbstractMap;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class PriorityTest {
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
private static class Entry extends AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<String, Integer> {
private final static AtomicInteger seq = new AtomicInteger(0);
final int order;
public Entry(final String _key, final Integer _value) {
super(_key, _value);
order = seq.incrementAndGet();
}
}
private static class OrderedComparator implements Comparator<Entry> {
@Override
public int compare(final Entry _e1, final Entry _e2) {
int r = _e1.getValue().compareTo(_e2.getValue());
if (r == 0)
return Integer.compare(_e1.order, _e2.order);
return r;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
final PriorityQueue<Entry> pq = new PriorityQueue<Entry>(10, new OrderedComparator());
pq.add(new Entry("Jane", 22));
pq.add(new Entry("John", 15));
pq.add(new Entry("Bill", 45));
pq.add(new Entry("Bob", 22));
while(!pq.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println(pq.remove());
}
}
}
