I'm not sure I understand this question but wouldn't you just implement some comparators? Then based on the sort option selected you can call something like: Collections.sort(list, comparator)? As for the search just have a java module to search thru the collection. I'm not quite sure how what this question really has to do with Struts. Unless you use something like the displaytags to display a sortable list for the names. -Tim

Let say, when a person views a list of collections (for example, the list consists of 5 people, each person has first name, last name, age), there is a drop-down menu on the bottom of the table/page says that: 1) Sort has two options: a) Ascending b) Descending 2) Search has three options a) Last Name b) First Name c) Age Since data is not stored in database yet. so in this case how can I do it using Struts? Thanks for your help.
