Wendy, Thanks for the quick reply. books is a session attribute (request.setParameter("books",books) I retrieve books from database - Book.java so books is a "List" object. Will try your approach and post back the results Thanks, Sam~~

I do it on the server side, holding the items to be sorted in a Map and creating a new Map passing a Comparator to the constructor to get the new order. Then when you're back on the JSP iterating over it, the items are in the "correct" order. Map accountMap = (Map) session.getAttribute( "accountMap" ); Map newMap = new TreeMap( new CostCenterComparator() ); newMap.putAll( accountMap ); session.setAttribute( "accountMap", newMap ); [Comments welcome, I'm not sure this is the best way to do it, but it works...] What type of Collection is 'books' in your example? -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
