logic:iterate ..collection data sorting in struts

[Dattatray Sutar]

Hi all..
I m using tomcat , struts. Is there any standard function that sorrts the columnwise data of a perticular collection.

e.g. I m using <logic:iterate>...<bean:write>...
any parameter that "iterates" through the collection as per the user wants.

Thanks a lot.

Here are some options:

1-Sort the list using the Collections.sort() method in your action class prior to displaying the JSP.This link shows an example of how to do this.

2-If the list is being created from a database, use the "order by" clause in your SQL to see that the rows are retrieved in the order you want.

3-Use one of the many JavaScript packages that create a sortable HTML table. These packages will usually allow you to sort by any column by clicking on the column header.
