Keep in mind though that &nbsp;Collections.sort() sort according to the elements 'natural' order, which might or might not suit your needs! If you need a different, or custom sorting order for your elements you have to implement the Comparator interface and provide an instance with the call to Collections.sort().

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Vector of objects that I want to sort.<br />
<br />
The only way I figured how to do this is to :<br />
1) Convert the Vector to an Array, using vector.toArray()<br />
2) Sort the array, using Arrays.sort()<br />
3) Fill the Vector back with the sorted array, using a loop !<br />
<br />
Quite tricky...<br />
<br />
Is there any simpler way??<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Sorting a Vector

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
