Sort Custom Object in Java

One-minute read

  1. Define a custom POJO, like this:

    package com.example.models;

public class ManufacturerPrice {

    private String name;

    private String description;

    // ... ommit setters & getters
}

  2. Define a Comparator variable, like this:

    Comparator<ManufacturerPrice> priceComparator =
            (a, b) -> a.getName().compareTo(b.getName());

  3. Use Collections.sort with your custom Comparator, like this:

    // entities is a Collection of ManufacturerPrice, such as List, Set, etc.
Collections.sort(entities, priceComparator);
