Re: Sorting a Vector by values with the objects

Aaron,

You really should consider using a Comparator or implement Comparable
and use a sorted implementation. If this is the natural ordering of the
data, use a sorted implementation like TreeSet (unless you will have
null keys or duplicates). Implement Comparable and override equals/hash
code appropriately so that equal objects compare equally, are equal and
have the same hash code. If this is not the natural ordering, you should
be able to keep it very simple and can just create your Comparator
implementation as an inner class where you need to sort. Then use the
Collections sort with your Comparator.

I have been racking my head on the wall with this one.  Everything in
my
mind says it should be working, but it doesn't come out with the right
order
and I seem to lose Vector elements in the process.

I am trying to sort Objects in a Vector based on the value of one of
the
fields within each Object....
