Sorting a collection of objects [duplicate]

Answer 1

Implement 3 different types of Comparator.

you can add the comparator to the sort command. The comparator you define, will sort the elements by name, age, or what ever.

Collections.sort(list, new Comparator() {

        public int compare(Object arg0, Object arg1) {
            if (!(arg0 instanceof Person)) {
                return -1;
            }
            if (!(arg1 instanceof Person)) {
                return -1;
            }

            Person pers0 = (Person)arg0;
            Person pers1 = (Person)arg1;


            // COMPARE NOW WHAT YOU WANT
            // Thanks to Steve Kuo for your comment!
            return pers0.getAge() - pers1.getAge();
        }
    });
