Posted by swapnil on November 16, 2000 at 10:00 AM

hi salil,
i have not understood ur question completelly . but wht i interprete is u need to sort all ur records sometimes by city or names or something like that . isn't it? if that's what u r looking for go through the code below . it may help u.
.................................................................

import java.util.*;
public class ascending
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TreeSet ts=new TreeSet();
for(int i=0;i {
ts.add(args[i]);
}
String myarr[]=new String[ts.size()];
Iterator myiter=ts.iterator();
int index=0;
while(myiter.hasNext())
{
myarr[index]=(String)myiter.next();
index=index+1;

}
System.out.println("The sorted names are :");
for (int i=0;i {System.out.println(myarr[i]);
}

}
}
..............................................................

Note here the input names are through the command line but in ur case they may be through the database.
try the code for ur appllication.
