Top Kills Scoreboard?

So I’m making a plugin that stores kills from players, then i want to put it so the top 10 kills are on a scoreboard.

Atm i have got the kills stored like this.

Kills:
{playersuuid}: 15

So now i want to make it so the top 10 people who have the most kills will be put in a scoreboard.
I want the scoreboard to update every 5 minutes which i will probably do with a scheduler.
Now before someone comes and says look it up, i have looked already there have been ways but most of them seem to not work.

Pretty much all I’m asking is how to list the kills from the config to Most amount of kills to least amount of kills.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Go through all of the players, and compare their kills...

Code:java

for(String s : getConfig().getStringList("kills"){
    int kills = getConfig().getInt("kills." + s);
}

I'd suggest adding them all to a HashMap, and going from there..:

Code:java

HashMap<Player, Integer> kills = new HashMap<Player, Integer>();
for(String s : getConfig().getStringList("kills"){
    int kills = getConfig().getInt("kills." + s);
    Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer(s);
    kills.put(player, kills);
}

So how do i get the most kills from the hash map?

 

Compare all the integers in the hashmap.

What’d you mean compare all the integers?

From TheMcScavenger provided code you could do

Code:java

int max = Collections.max(kills.values());

 

He wants the top 10, not number 1 only.

He would use Collections.sort, then display the top 10 results only

So would i have to put all the values and kills in a list then do:
Collections.sort(list);
If you could give me a example i’d be so grateful.
