finding range between two alphanumeric values - like between HAI2TK and HAI9TD ? ( "HAI2TK", "HAI5TH","HAI9TD" )
implementing Comparator interface with compareTo() might supports. Any other optimized way ?

To implement this, you'll have to know what the logic behind the series is. For example, what is the next code after "HAI2TK"? When does one code come after or before another code in the series?
You didn't say anything about that logic, so we can't tell you exactly how to implement it in Java code.
Implementing a Comparator is indeed a way to express this in Java code.

HAI5TH comes after "HAI2TK",
"HAI9TD" comes after "HAI5TH"

You have provided "what" but not "how"
"HAI5TH" comes after "HAI2TK", but why ?
