Java 2D sorting

Posted by jegan g karuanakaran on November 30, 2000 at 11:51 AM

Hi,

I have a question on multidimensional array sorting in Java.

In an array of size[n][6] where n varies from 0 to many
i want to sort this array BY ROW VISE according to the value in the 6th column

for example

desc[0][0] ="do";
desc[0][1] ="Sync";
desc[0][2] ="Business";
desc[0][3] ="instance";
desc[0][4] ="1.0";
desc[0][5] ="do
Sync
Business
instance
1.0";

desc[1][0] ="donot";
desc[1][1] ="ASync";
desc[1][2] ="System";
desc[1][3] ="instanceLevel";
desc[1][4] ="1.2";
desc[1][5] ="donot
ASync
System
instanceLevel
1.2";

desc[2][0] ="don";
desc[2][1] ="ASyc";
desc[2][2] ="SystemLevel";
desc[2][3] ="instanceKind";
desc[2][4] ="2.2";
desc[2][5] ="don
ASyc
SystemLevel
instanceKind
2.2";

i want to sort all three rows , according to the value in the 6th column.

is it possible in Java sort method?
