my code is similiar to:<br />
<br />
ArrayList a = otherAPI.searchStudent( &quot;registered&quot;);<br />
<br />
the a is a ArrayList containing the students registered, but I want to sort this list. I don't know how to do it, and I don't want to otherAPI to sort it on DB side, since I will sort list by different column in different situations.<br />
<br />
thanks

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.
