I created runnable class in that I created list of type string and added elements on that. How to sort the elements in a list.
Hi Harivenkata,
You can use a Set easily which sort themselves:

Hi Harivenkata
As mentioned by our senior group member, you should sort the record before insert.
Sharing one code sample with you, try with this.
public List arrayFromList(List _list) { System.Collections.ArrayList objTempList=new System.Collections.ArrayList(); ListIterator listIterator; int i; listIterator = new ListIterator(_list); for (i = 1; listIterator.more(); i) { objTempList.Add(listIterator.value()); listIterator.next(); } objTempList.Sort(); _list.empty(); for (i = 0; i< objTempList.Count ; i ) { _list.addEnd(objTempList.Item.ToString()); } return _list; }
Lists contain elements in the order in which you put them. If you want a sorted list, can't you sort the elements before putting them to the list?
Or use a different way for storing the values. My recommendation is an InMemory temporary table - then you can easily use 'order by' when querying the data.
