[Joycey]

HEY GUYS I HAVE THIS COMPLIELING BUT I CANT GET IT TOO LOOK RIGHT AND IT GOES INTO THE GETNAME() TWICE BUT I ONLY WANT TO DO IT ONCE HERE IS WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE


unsorted:

date      name    atachment
----      ------   ----------
6          john          7
5          kevin         8
4          jim            4

5          kevin         8
6          john           7

AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS AN EMAIL IN VOICE BUT I NEED TO SORT THE FROM BIGGEST TO SMALLEST
HERE IS MY CODE RUN IT AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT IT LOOK LIKE I RUNS THE NAMES TWICE WHICH I DONT WANT AND I CANT GET IT TOO LOOK RIGHT

class WS7QC

	    System.out.println(" ---------------------------------------------");
		SortedArray(A);

}//end of main

		     A[row][col] =(int)(Math.random( )*10000) % 10+1;//generate randome nuihem in array
 			 System.out.print(" "+A[row][col]+ "\t\t\t\t  ");

           if(col == 0)
			 {
			  GetName(A,row);
		     }

		    } //end of loop
		        System.out.println();
		  }//end of first loop

		}//end of procedure

    		}// end of if
    		*/
  	}//end of sort







}//end of class

as you see i need to print it first then use an other method to sort the numbers and go back in to get the names

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

Remember the sorted array method is commonts not code

There is no reason to shout. Those date, name and attachment are details of something larger: an email specification so I had expected something like this:

public class Email {
   private int date;
   private String name;
   private int attachment;
   ...
   // constructor(s) and getters etc. go here
}

Next I expected a simple one dimensional array like this:

Email[] emails= ...

You have to sort this array. The Arrays class has a sort( ... ) method that can do the job. Also read the API documentation for the Comparator interface.

kind regards,

Jos
