If you will be hitting the database each time you refresh the page, then you're better off adding an ORDER BY clause to your SQL.



Otherwise, you'll want to use the java.util.Collections class's static methods to sort your collection. You'll have to create an implementation of a Comparator to sort on the field you want to sort by (name, date, etc.).
