    Question map with duplicates - sort by value (duplicates disappear, but I need them)

    Hi all,
    I got map with full duplicates (key and value are duplicated). I need to sort the map by value, it sorts, but duplicates disappear and I need to keep them. Please see my code below. Thx for any suggestion.

    package learn;
     
    import java.util.IdentityHashMap;
    import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
    import java.util.LinkedList;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.Map;
    import java.util.Map.Entry;
    import java.util.stream.Collectors;
     
    public class sortMapWithDuplicates {
     
        private static Map<Integer, String> sortByValue(Map<Integer, String> unsortMap, final boolean order)
        {
            List<Entry<Integer, String>> list = new LinkedList<>(unsortMap.entrySet());
            System.out.println("check 1 - list = " + list);
            list.sort((o1, o2) -> order ? o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue()) == 0
                    ? o1.getKey().compareTo(o2.getKey())
                    : o1.getValue().compareTo(o2.getValue()) : o2.getValue().compareTo(o1.getValue()) == 0
                    ? o2.getKey().compareTo(o1.getKey())
                    : o2.getValue().compareTo(o1.getValue()));
            System.out.println("check 2 - list sorted before return = " + list);
            return list.stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(Entry::getKey, Entry::getValue, (a, b) -> b, LinkedHashMap::new));
        }
     
    	  public static void main(String[] args) {
    		  Map<Integer, String> map = new IdentityHashMap<Integer, String>();
    		  map.put(new Integer(1), "one");
    		  map.put(new Integer(1), "one");
    		  map.put(new Integer(2), "two");
    		  map.put(new Integer(3), "three");
    		  map.put(new Integer(4), "four");
    		  System.out.println(sortByValue(map,true));
    	  }
     
    }

    Console output:
    check 1 - list = [1=one, 3=three, 2=two, 1=one, 4=four]
    check 2 - list sorted before return = [4=four, 1=one, 1=one, 3=three, 2=two]
    {4=four, 1=one, 3=three, 2=two}
    As you can see, my two check steps show that duplicates are present, but they disappear on return.
