java arraylist 对象排序,在Java中按对象的属性对ArrayList进行排序

I wish to sort my objects in order of their Email address.

This is the method I've attempted but it does not work, but I'm not even sure it's the correct way to do what I want?

public static ArrayList sortedListByEmail(ArrayList Billing) {

ArrayList Sort = new ArrayList();

for (int i = 0; i < Sort.size(); i++) {

Collections.sort(Sort, new Comparator() {

public int compare(Billing o1, Billing o2) {

return o1.getEmail() > o2.getEmail() ? -1 : o1.getEmail().equals(o2.getEmail() ? 0 : 1);

}

});

}

return Sort;

}

Rest of the class:

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.Collections;

import java.lang.Comparable;

import java.util.Comparator;

public class Billing extends User implements Comparable {

private Address billingAddress;

private String email;

public Billing(String id, String firstName, String lastName, String userName, String password, UserType userType, PermissionType permission, Boolean Status, Address billingAddress, String email) {

super(id, firstName, lastName, userName, password, userType, permission, Status);

this.billingAddress = billingAddress;

this.email = email;

}

public Billing(String id, String firstName, String lastName, String userName, String password, UserType userType, PermissionType permission, Boolean Status, String email) {

super(id, firstName, lastName, userName, password, userType, permission, Status);

}

public Billing(String id, String firstName, String lastName, String userName, String password, UserType userType, PermissionType permission, Boolean Status) {

super(id, firstName, lastName, userName, password, userType, permission, Status);

}

public Address getBillingAddress() {

return billingAddress;

}

public void setBillingAddress(Address billingAddress) {

this.billingAddress = billingAddress;

}

public String getEmail() {

return email;

}

public void setEmail(String email) {

this.email = email;

}

}

How would I accomplish sorting the objects in order of their email address? Thank you

Since the email is a String and also a Comparable you can use the String.compareTo to sort using the email property. (This is a pre Java-8 solution):

public static List sortedListByEmail(List Billing) {

List sort = new ArrayList<>(Billing);

Collections.sort(sort, new Comparator() {

public int compare(Billing o1, Billing o2) {

return o1.getEmail().compareTo(o2.getEmail());

}

}

);

return sort;

}

In Java-8 this can be made more compact, with the Comparator#comparing:

public static List sortedListByEmail(List Billing) {

List sorted = new ArrayList<>(Billing);

sorted.sort(Comparator.comparing(b -> b.getEmail()));

return sorted;

}

Here the original list supplied is not sorted in place, instead a copy is made which is sorted.

Or you can use Stream#sorted to do it in an elegant way which will also return you a new List instead of modifying the original one:

public static List sortedListByEmail(List Billing) {

return Billing.stream()

.sorted(Comparator.comparing(b -> b.getEmail()))

.collect(Collectors.toList());

}
