Sort List<Object> values without using Collections(not using compare)

ss_itc

Hi all,

I have a class type of Object and inserting these values into List.

Eg:  Employee class is having

int id, String name, String mail,

Employee e= new Employee(3,"Shankar","[email protected]");

Employee e1= new Employee(2,"Sekahat","[email protected]");

Employee e2= new Employee(37,"Sharat","[email protected]");

Employee e3= new Employee(1,"swaroop","[email protected]");

List<Employee> empList = new ArrayList<Employee>();

empList.add(e);

empList.add(e1);

empList.add(e2);

empList.add(e3);

Now I want to sort the list values based on id declared in the Employee class like below without using Collections.

1,"swaroop","[email protected]"

2,"Sekahat","[email protected]"

3,"Shankar","[email protected]"

37,"Sharat","[email protected]"

Can anyone please help on how to do this.

Thanks & Regards,

Suresh

Why? Seems silly not to use functionality that already exists.

Sure - write your own sort function.

Just search the web for sort routines and use one of the MANY algorithms (bubble, etc) you find.

Sounds like a class assignment to me. Because other than trying to understand/code/debug how a sort works it is a HUGE waste of time and effort to duplication functionality that is already available for free.
