Hi all,
I am new in java. How can I sort a linked list on the basis of a particular string..?
I have created a class with two elements,
1. Name
2. Address
and I am reading these elements many times
Now I want to sort this on the basis of name..
Please help me .. Thanks in advance....
Usual way is to add a compareTo method to your class. Inside that method you code whatever logic you want to compare two instances (eg compare name fields).
Have a look at the Comparable interface in the Java API
Adding to that.......
You can overload the operators ==, < and > for the class.
You can overload the operators ==, < and > for the class.
Would you please give an example or reference material for doing that in Java?

Sorry about that. I replied as though in C++.
Please ignore the post.
Hmm... That's one thing I missed from C++ in Java. :(

If you are allowed to use compareTo(), then go for it as JamesCherill said. Otherwise, you may have to implement your own string comparison method.
