Could I insert these values in a Map Collection and then sort it by
any term that I choose

Yes, but you can also sort the Vector elements directly
(without shuffling around between various collection types)
by implementing your specific Comparator derived class, which
implements compare(x,y) according to the order you have in mind,
and passing an instance of your Comparator to Collections'
sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) method.
(yes, a Vector is also a List)
