sort an arraylist of custom objects

Good morning,
I have a array list that contains a number of custom objects.
My object has the below structure :
myObj.ID
myObj.Name
myObj.Date

is there a way i can sort this array list by id or name? The data comes from a web service not in an ordered way.

Thanks in advance.

Hii

Why dont you try creating a comparator class.
The Class implements Comparator and its method compare to do comparison ...
you can make a condition here that can do sorting based on your preference.
Then call Collection.sort(urList,new instanceOfComparator());
you can modify the constructor to pass your preference like
Collection.sort(urList,new instanceOfComparator("myPrefernce"));

Just dont forget to use compareTO for comparison of String to have more accurate result.

Please correct me if i am wronng or have made a wrong interpretation of your question.

Hello i did what you said and it works perfectly. One more question, not opening new post because it is for the same list of objects, how can i filter this list of objects from text in a edittext?
Can this be done dynamically or is there another way?

thanks in advance.

i am sorry i dint not understand your question. properly i guess

you can use an AutoCompleteTextView instead of EditText this will work just like conact list from your cell phone fetching data dynamically from a predefined list as you type.

can you not introduce a radoButton group containing the list of elements(name and Date) that may be used for sorting.And based on user's selection the key for sorting could be set.

i am actually want help on how to filter the objects in the arraylist, my sorting function works.

thanks again.
