Hi all,
I just want to know if I can sort the elements of a ConcurrentHashMap on multiple conditions.

Suppose my ConcurrentHashMap has Student object with following properties:

StudentID
Date of Join
etc...

I am looking a method to sort it based on Date of join and Student ID(as I don't want to write my own sorting algorithm). If I was fetching it from a DB, effectively I would have used the following SQL query: SELECT STUDENT_ID, DOJ FROM STUDENT ORDER BY DOJ, STUDENT_ID. Unfortunately I do not obtain the data from DB. With Java, I want to know if there is any mechanism to sort them in the same order as Oracle would have sorted from the above query.

I tried the following way:
1. Sorted based on DOJ by using Collections.sort(map, Comparator1 to compare DOJ),
2. Then sorted based StudentID using Collections.sort(map, Comparator2 to compare StudentID).

But after sorting in step2, it re-aligns the sorted items just by StudentID not as DOJ, StudentID.
I gues that is how it is supposed to sort, but just wanted to know if there is any way to sort by DOJ, StudentID.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ajay
