We're pleased to have you here with us on the Ranch, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

Hi,
If you are getting the column values from the DB, you can re-query DB again with sort statement on the particular column with particular oreder. (When user click on that column)
But if not, then you have write your own algorithm for sorting. Take a look at Comparator, sortedMap and TreeMap API for this.
