For example the following code produces the order Stock1, Stock2, Stock3

var tm = TreeMap("Stock1" -> 4.2, "Stock3" -> 3.7, "Stock2" -> 5.9)

    scala> val sorted1 = tm.toList.sortBy (_._2)                                                           
sorted1: List[(java.lang.String, Double)] = List((Stock3,3.7), (Stock1,4.2), (Stock2,5.9))

scala> val sorted2 = tm.toList.sortBy (_._1)
sorted2: List[(java.lang.String, Double)] = List((Stock1,4.2), (Stock2,5.9), (Stock3,3.7))

    Revert sorted1, to get it descending, or sortWith:

    scala> val sorted3 = tm.toList.sortWith (_._2 > _._2) 
sorted3: List[(java.lang.String, Double)] = List((Stock2,5.9), (Stock1,4.2), (Stock3,3.7))

    Version 4, sort by -x (minus x): 

    scala> val sorted4 = tm.toList.sortBy (-_._2)   
sorted4: List[(java.lang.String, Double)] = List((Stock2,5.9), (Stock1,4.2), (Stock3,3.7))
