Hi, I agree with all of the above comments. You may like to use them in different scenarios: 1. DB sort using "order by" but each request will cost your db access connection 2. Sorting in DAO is good 3. Soring in any case (at JSP/Business layer/DAO) require you to do some comparison , you can create a custom code implementing the "Comparator" or try looking the Jakarta Commons utility -BeanComparator - http://builder.com.com/5102-6386-5029658.html
At the same time, if you want to display this as some table on the web page, you may want to look at the DisplayTag http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/11/., http://demo.appfuse.org/appfuse/demos/users-edit.jsp This will have sorting, as well as paging fuctionality.
