list - Storing Doubles with a string - Java -

so seemed have run slight problem. attempting store doubles string (acting name them), able sort them in descending order.

i store them in someway, hashmap, arraylist, list etc... i'm not sure on best.

kind of lets assume these stored in way hashmap, list etc...

bob: 6.0 mary: 5.4 bill: 6.3 ann: 5.0 jim: 6.0 

then output them like:

bill: 6.3 bob: 6.0 //notice, must able support duplicates.  jim: 6.0 mary: 5.4 ann: 5.0 

i hope makes sense others, if not let me know , can try clear up.

p.s. looked other threads not find 1 suits needs.

edit: seemed of found way works somehow... if interested in seeing, have pastebin link here: http://pastebin.com/qwjbd5mz

now, code built off bukkit api, may not useful others as could.

the easiest way create wrapper class:

class person {     string name;     double score;     //constructor, getters etc. } 

then put persons in list:

list<person> list = arrays.aslist(new person("bob", 6),                                   new person("mary", 5.4),                                   new person("bill", 6.3),                                   new person("ann", 5.0),                                   new person("jim", 6.0)); 

and sort them custom comparator compare scores:

collections.sort(list, comparator); 

the comparator like:

collections.sort(list, new comparator<person>() {      @override     public int compare(person o1, person o2) {         //sort score         if (o1.score != o2.score)             return double.compare(o1.score, o2.score);         //if same score, sort name         return o1.name.compareto(o2.name);     } });
