hi all.. can anybody help in solving problem of sorting using comparable interface. scenario: class FedResult {String title; String desc; } using compareTo method i m sorting Array of FedResult class based on titles and titles are sorted but Desc values are not properly sorted based on titles. for(int i=0; i nResult[i] = new FedResult(); String temp = sDomain.getResultSetAsHTML(requestUID, viewStyle, i, 1); nResult[i].setTtl(vRes[i].getTitle()); nResult[i].setDesc(temp); } Arrays.sort(nResult); for(int j=startResult; (j System.out.println("TITLES ARE : "+nResult[j].getTtl() + "\n"); System.out.println("DESC ARE : "+nResult[j].getDesc() + "\n"); } compareTo method is as follow: public int compareTo(Object anotherResult)throws ClassCastException{ int retValue = title.compareToIgnoreCase(title2); if (retValue==0) return ((String)((FedResult)this).getDesc()).compareToIgnoreCase(((FedResult)anotherResult).getDesc()); else return retValue; } Thanks in advace, Achal.
