You might want to look at classes TreeSet and interface Comparable. Check the Java Documentation for more information. A TreeSet is an abstract data type representing a set that maintains an order on its elements. These elements must be Comparable. Also, method sort from Collections might be worth looking at.

If you want to implement the actual sorting, you might want to look at
- Insertion sort (small number of elements)
- Merge sort (good worst case time for large number of elements)
- Quicksort (good expected time for large number of elements)
- Counting sort (if you know the maximum capacity and are willing to waste some space,
this will be the fastest)

(Wikipedia them for pseudocodes).

my list will contain rooms , room object should look like that example ("AZY","B212",300) ->("building name","room number",capacity) the sorting should be done by capacity .note i have a getData and next methods in the node class.

Then you should try for your own sorting algorithm , which sort on 'capacity' and As Alberto Caraz said ,

If you want to implement the actual sorting, you might want to look at
- Insertion sort (small number of elements)
- Merge sort (good worst case time for large number of elements)
- Quicksort (good expected time for large number of elements)
- Counting sort (if you know the maximum capacity and are willing to waste some space,
this will be the fastest)

(Wikipedia them for pseudocodes).



You got those algorithm by googling , try to implement it in java, and then if you face problem (a specific to java) , we are here to solve !!
