Sorting an ArrayList in Java

0 votes

I have a code with a class name Car.

public class Car{

    private String carName;
    private String carDesc;
    private int quantity;

    public String getCarName() {
        return carName;
    }
    public void setCarName(String carName) {
        this.carName = carName;
    }
    public String getCarDesc() {
        return carDesc;
    }
    public void setCarDesc(String carDesc) {
        this.carDesc = carDesc;
    }
    public int getQuantity() {
        return quantity;
    }
    public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
        this.quantity = quantity;
    }
}

Now, using the for loop,  I am creating a creating a list of class “Car”.

List<Car>  cars= new ArrayList<Car>();

Car car;
for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
{
   car= new car();
   car.setname(...);
   cars.add(car);
}

My list contains a few car names added to it.

Can someone help me in sorting this arrayList based on the car names of each object in the list?

You can easily do this by simply using a  “Comparator”. Check out the code below:

List<Car> cars = new ArrayList<Car>();

Car car;
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
  car = new Car();
  car.setname(...);
  cars.add(car);
}

// Sorting
Collections.sort(cars, new Comparator<Car>() {
        @Override
        public int compare(Car car2, Car car1)
        {

            return  car1.carName.compareTo(car2.carName);
        }
    });

Hope this works for you, as it worked for me.
