Hello everyone,

I am trying to find th maximum element of my ArrayList using the collections.max(ArrayList) command. This works fine for a list with single comparable values, however I have in my list which contain three traits (ID, age, weight). How would I find the entry with the maximum age for instance?

Thank you for your help
Nicola

My personal view is that for cards there isn't really a natural order since different games differ in their interpretation of the Ace, so it might be better to avoid assigning "semantics" by offering Comparable as part of the class.    systematicuk.co.uk
