How can I sort this array alphabetically by name and then by age?

Which algorithm would

Answer 1

For a class Book like this:

package books;

public class Book {

    private Integer id;
    private Integer number;
    private String name;

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getNumber() {
        return number;
    }

    public void setNumber(Integer number) {
        this.number = number;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "book{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", number=" + number +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' + '\n' +
                '}';
    }
}

sorting main class with mock objects

package books;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;


public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");

        Book b = new Book();

        Book c = new Book();

        Book d = new Book();

        Book e = new Book();

        Book f = new Book();

        Book g = new Book();
        Book g1 = new Book();
        Book g2 = new Book();
        Book g3 = new Book();
        Book g4 = new Book();




        b.setId(1);
        b.setNumber(12);
        b.setName("gk");

        c.setId(2);
        c.setNumber(12);
        c.setName("gk");

        d.setId(2);
        d.setNumber(13);
        d.setName("maths");

        e.setId(3);
        e.setNumber(3);
        e.setName("geometry");

        f.setId(3);
        f.setNumber(34);
        b.setName("gk");

        g.setId(3);
        g.setNumber(11);
        g.setName("gk");

        g1.setId(3);
        g1.setNumber(88);
        g1.setName("gk");
        g2.setId(3);
        g2.setNumber(91);
        g2.setName("gk");
        g3.setId(3);
        g3.setNumber(101);
        g3.setName("gk");
        g4.setId(3);
        g4.setNumber(4);
        g4.setName("gk");





        List allBooks = new ArrayList();

        allBooks.add(b);
        allBooks.add(c);
        allBooks.add(d);
        allBooks.add(e);
        allBooks.add(f);
        allBooks.add(g);
        allBooks.add(g1);
        allBooks.add(g2);
        allBooks.add(g3);
        allBooks.add(g4);



        System.out.println(allBooks.size());


        Collections.sort(allBooks, new Comparator() {

            @Override
            public int compare(Book t, Book t1) {
                int a =  t.getId()- t1.getId();

                if(a == 0){
                    int a1 = t.getNumber() - t1.getNumber();
                    return a1;
                }
                else
                    return a;
            }
        });
        System.out.println(allBooks);

    }
