Wendy,
Thanks for the quick reply.
books is a session attribute (request.setParameter("books",books)
I retrieve books from database - Book.java
so books is a "List" object.
Will try your approach and post back the results
Thanks,
Sam~~

I do it on the server side, holding the items to be sorted in a Map and
creating a new Map passing a Comparator to the constructor to get the
new order. Then when you're back on the JSP iterating over it, the
items are in the "correct" order.
Map accountMap = (Map) session.getAttribute( "accountMap" );
Map newMap = new TreeMap( new CostCenterComparator() );
newMap.putAll( accountMap );
session.setAttribute( "accountMap", newMap );
[Comments welcome, I'm not sure this is the best way to do it, but it
works...]
What type of Collection is 'books' in your example?
