How to sort an ArrayList?

Question

I have a List of doubles in java and I want to sort ArrayList in descending order.

Input ArrayList is as below:

List testList = new Arr         


        

Answer 1

//Here is sorted List alphabetically with syncronized

package com.mnas.technology.automation.utility;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

/**
 * @author manoj.kumar
 */
public class SynchronizedArrayList {
    static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SynchronizedArrayList.class.getName());

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<Employee> synchronizedList = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<Employee>());
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Aditya"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Siddharth"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Manoj"));
        Collections.sort(synchronizedList, new Comparator() {
            public int compare(Object synchronizedListOne, Object synchronizedListTwo) {
                //use instanceof to verify the references are indeed of the type in question
                return ((Employee) synchronizedListOne).name
                        .compareTo(((Employee) synchronizedListTwo).name);
            }
        }); 
    /*for( Employee sd : synchronizedList) {
    log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List..."+sd.name);
    }*/

        // when iterating over a synchronized list, we need to synchronize access to the synchronized list
        synchronized (synchronizedList) {
            Iterator<Employee> iterator = synchronizedList.iterator();
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List Items: " + iterator.next().name);
            }
        }

    }
}

class Employee {
    String name;

    Employee(String name) {
        this.name = name;

    }
}

Answer 2

Collections.sort(testList);
Collections.reverse(testList);

That will do what you want. Remember to import Collections though!

Here is the documentation for Collections.

Answer 3

The following line should do the thick

testList.sort(Collections.reverseOrder());

Answer 4

|*| Sorting an List :

import java.util.Collections;

|=> Sort Asc Order :

Collections.sort(NamAryVar);

|=> Sort Dsc Order :

Collections.sort(NamAryVar, Collections.reverseOrder());

---

|*| Reverse the order of List :

Collections.reverse(NamAryVar);

Answer 5

  yearList = arrayListOf()
    for (year in 1950 until 2021) {
        yearList.add(year)
    }

   yearList.reverse()
    val list: ArrayList<String> = arrayListOf()

    for (year in yearList) {
        list.add(year.toString())
    }

Answer 6

Use util method of java.util.Collections class, i.e

Collections.sort(list)

In fact, if you want to sort custom object you can use

Collections.sort(List<T> list, Comparator<? super T> c) 

see collections api
