Sorting a LinkedHashSet

Question

I\'m wondering if it\'s possible to sort a LinkedHashSet. I\'ve tried the statement

Collections.sort((List paragraph);

Howeve

Answer 1

You should use a SortedSet such as TreeSet or ConcurrentSkipListSet if you care about ordering based on comparison (e.g., sorted order).

A LinkedHashSet preserves order based on insertion order.

If you really want to use Collections.sort you can convert the LHS into a List by actually constructing a List (though the question doesn't tell us the type of paragraph so I'll assume it is String)

List listParagraph = new ArrayList(paragraph);
Collections.sort(listParagraph)

but that's probably not the best approach.
