Comparable is always a good idea. But I am curious to know why you are unable to do a re-SELECT statement?

Just pop your results into a Vector (or other collection) in sort-order. Depending upon the number of elements expected, you could speed the insertion using a number of methods. If your lists are relatively small, it may be efficient to just start at the beginning of the vector and walk through it looking for the insertion point. -david- -----Original Message----- From: Søren Blidorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 10, 2003 1:25 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: SV: Sort a collection in alphabetic order It is not possible. The select is in a while (rs.next()) {} depending on another value. (Not easy to explain!!)

Can anybody help me? Most algorithm books will give you more information than you want on sorting. Why not just do it in the query and let the db do it?
