RE: Sorting a Vector...

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron, what Jeff is showing you will almost certainly work and be better
than a hand coded bubble sort. The Collections framework included with
JDKs 1.2+ gives much better sort implementations. You should look at
your data in a  Collection/Map/List/etc. and code to the interface and
use the best implementation for your use case. If no implementation
fits, you may need to create your own but that would be very rare.
Decide whether null keys or duplicates are possible. Also look at
whether you need to optimize to access or update. Determine if your
access needs to be synchronized. One book that might help you make these
decisions is called Essential Java Style. It is a little out of date
(1999) but covers this area pretty well. Here is a link to another way
of using Comparator in an anonymous inner class to sort an ArrayList:

You really need to adopt the OO approach and define your IRGPerf class
to
implement the Comparator interface.
