对ArrayList集合中的元素进行排序

如果要对ArrayList集合中的元素进行排序，需要用到java工具包中的Collections类的sort方法。

具体用法可以查看jdk帮助文档。

在这里先创建一个Person类，包含姓名，性别，年龄，身份证号，出生日期。如以下代码：

public class Person {

	private String name;
	private String birthday;
	private String idCard;
	private char sex;
	private int age;
	
	//getters和setters
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	public String getBirthday() {
		return birthday;
	}
	public void setBirthday(String birthday) {
		this.birthday = birthday;
	}
	public String getIdCard() {
		return idCard;
	}
	public void setIdCard(String idCard) {
		this.idCard = idCard;
	}
	public char getSex() {
		return sex;
	}
	public void setSex(char sex) {
		this.sex = sex;
	}
	public int getAge() {
		return age;
	}
	public void setAge(int age) {
		this.age = age;
	}
	//构造函数
	public Person(){}
	public Person(String name,String birthday,String idCard,char sex,int age){
		this.name = name;
		this.birthday = birthday;
		this.idCard = idCard;
		this.sex = sex;
		this.age = age;
	}
	//输出信息
	public String toString(){
		return name+","+sex+","+age+","+birthday+","+idCard;
	}
}

然后创建排序的类（其中包括按照姓名排序，按照年龄排序，按照出生日期排序），如以下代码所示：

import java.util.Comparator;

public class CompareName implements Comparator<Person>{
	//按照姓名进行排序
	@Override
	public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return p1.getName().compareTo(p2.getName());
	}
}

class CompareBirthday implements Comparator<Person>{
	//按照出生日期进行排序
	@Override
	public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return p1.getBirthday().compareTo(p2.getBirthday());
	}
}
class CompareAge implements Comparator<Person>{
	//按照年龄进行排序
	@Override
	public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		if(p1.getAge()>p2.getAge())
			return 1;
		else return -1;
	}
}

最后创建一个主类（在这里我明明为First），用来调用以上所写的类并使程序可以执行。

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class First {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		ArrayList<Person> value = new ArrayList<Person>();
		Person p1 = new Person("张三","1994-3-3","45612346548",'男',26);
		Person p2 = new Person("赵四","2000-5-24","16546165746",'男',20);
		Person p3 = new Person("刘武","1997-2-3","156461656487",'男',23);
		Person p4 = new Person("丁晓晓","1996-6-13","36548588788",'女',24);
		//将创建的各元素添加到ArrayList集合中
		value.add(p1);
		value.add(p2);
		value.add(p3);
		value.add(p4);
		CompareName cn = new CompareName();
		CompareBirthday cb = new CompareBirthday();
		CompareAge ca = new CompareAge();
		System.out.println("\n按姓名排序：");//其中\n表示换行
		Collections.sort(value,cn);
		for(int i = 0; i < value.size(); i++)
			System.out.println(value.get(i).toString());
		System.out.println("\n按年龄排序：");
		Collections.sort(value,ca);
		for(int i = 0; i < value.size(); i++)
			System.out.println(value.get(i).toString());
		System.out.println("\n按生日排序：");
		Collections.sort(value,cb);
		for(int i = 0; i < value.size(); i++)
			System.out.println(value.get(i).toString());
	}
}

最后看一下运行结果：

按姓名排序：
丁晓晓,女,24,1996-6-13,36548588788
刘武,男,23,1997-2-3,156461656487
张三,男,26,1994-3-3,45612346548
赵四,男,20,2000-5-24,16546165746


按年龄排序：
赵四,男,20,2000-5-24,16546165746
刘武,男,23,1997-2-3,156461656487
丁晓晓,女,24,1996-6-13,36548588788
张三,男,26,1994-3-3,45612346548


按生日排序：
张三,男,26,1994-3-3,45612346548
丁晓晓,女,24,1996-6-13,36548588788
刘武,男,23,1997-2-3,156461656487
赵四,男,20,2000-5-24,16546165746
