For sorting Any user defined class,We need to implement the
userdefined class with comparable or comparator
interfcae.Then only your collections.sort(ArrayList al)
will work,Otherwise it won't work.
Ex: class Employee implements Comparable{
private int age;
public void setAge(int age){
this.age=age;
}
public int getAge(){
return this.age;
}public int compareTo(Object otherEmployee){
/*
If passed object is of type other than Employee,
throw ClassCastException.
*/
if(!(otherEmployee instanceof Employee)){
throw new ClassCastException("Invalid object");
}
int age = ((Employee) otherEmployee).getAge();
if(this.getAge() > age)
return 1;
else if ( this.getAge() < age )
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
}
