Answer 1

request.getParameterNames () uses HashMap internally to store the name value pairs of form fields. There is no order maintained in this. if you need this in order then , some sort of naming convention for form parameters to control the order of retrieval.

SortedSet temp = new SortedSet();
Enumeration enumeration = request.getParameterNames();
while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) 
{
        temp.add((String)enumeration.nextElement());
}
