package pack1;

import java.util.*;

import java.lang.*;

import pack1.Orderly;

public class Example{

   public static void main(String args[]){

        String name = "";

        ArrayList list=new ArrayList();

        Orderly orderly = new Orderly ();

        try

        {

              list=orderly.displayRecordNew();

              Collections.sort(list);

              //Sorts the array list

If We have to Sort the Name in Descending Order then we have to uncomment the below commented lines.

//Comparator r = Collections.reverseOrder();  //Collections.sort(list,r);

              Iterator l1 = list.iterator();         

              while(l1.hasNext()){

                  orderly  = (Orderly)l1.next();

                                                name = orderly.getOrderlyName();

                  System.out.println("Name is " + name);

              }

        }

        catch(Exception e)

        {

        }

   }

}

package pack1;

import java.util.*;

import java.io.*;

class Orderly implements Comparable<Orderly>{

      public String nameDesig = "a";

      private String name;

      int i = 1;

      Orderly(){

      }

    public void setOrderlyName(String name){

        this.name = name;

      }

    public String getOrderlyName(){

        return name;

      }

    //Overriding the compareTo method

    public int compareTo(Orderly o){

      return (this.name).compareTo(o.name);

    }

      public ArrayList displayRecordNew() throws Exception

      {

            ArrayList showRecord=new ArrayList();

            //Instead of Database Connection we use Normal Java Code (For Beginners)     

            if(i==1)

            {

                  Orderly orderly=new Orderly();

                  nameDesig = nameDesig + "a";

                  orderly.setOrderlyName(nameDesig);

                  showRecord.add(orderly);

                  i++;

            }

            if(i==2)

            {

                  Orderly orderly=new Orderly();

                  nameDesig = "z";

                  orderly.setOrderlyName(nameDesig);

                  showRecord.add(orderly);

                  i++;

            }

            if(i==3)

            {

                  Orderly orderly=new Orderly();

                  nameDesig = "d";

                  orderly.setOrderlyName(nameDesig);

                  showRecord.add(orderly);

                  i++;

            }

            if(i==4)

            {

                  Orderly orderly=new Orderly();

                  nameDesig = "aab";

                  orderly.setOrderlyName(nameDesig);

                  showRecord.add(orderly);

                  i++;

            }          

            return showRecord;

      }

}

The Result is

-----------------

Name is aa

Name is aab

Name is d

Name is z
