Using Comparable and Comparator interfaces

[barney]

Hi, I have an array of Java objects(for example: Employee). I need to sort this array based on any one of the data variable(for example: emp_name, desg, salary) in the Java class.

I had done using Comparable and Comparator interfaces. But the problem here is need to handle both ascending and descending dynamically based on parameter passed.
Can anyone help me in this?

Thanks.

You're on the right track, you have to use compareTo inside your Comparator class that you create.

you have to have the compare( ) method this is where how you want to sort it.
