Sort a list

[Pete Dawn]

Hi everyone,

I have a list in the following format,
A, B, C, 3
X, Y, Z, 2
J, K, L, 4
P, L, M, 1

Now I need to sort this list based on the 4th index (integer). Can somebody tell me how can I go about it.

I've tried Collections.sort, but it doesnt help me when I have numbers greater than 9, like 10, it puts 1,10... etc.

Thanks.

Have a look at the Comparable and Comparator interfaces.

Can you give me an example. I need to find a quick fix to this one.

Thanks.

Use String.split to get the last digit. Convert it into an integer using Integer.parseInt. Compare on the integer.
I'm sure you can turn this into code.
