i have a string array consisting of a name and a score. I want to sort that array by score. Problem is, considering it's a string array, the scores are strings which results in 13,16,2,5,6 and not 2,5,6,13,16. I am using this code:
int spaceIndex;
String[][] scoreboard;
String[] playername;
String[] score;
int sbsize;
array1.add("Thomas" + ":" + 5);
array1.add("Blueb" + ":" + 6);
array1.add("James" + ":" + 16);
array1.add("Hleb" + ":" + 13);
array1.add("Sabbat" + ":" + 2);
sbsize = array1.size();
scoreboard = new String[sbsize][2];
playername = new String[sbsize];
score = new String[sbsize];
pos2 = new int[sbsize];
for (int i=0; i<array1.size(); i++)
{
spaceIndex = array1.get(i).indexOf(':');
scoreboard[i][0] = array1.get(i).substring(0, spaceIndex);
scoreboard[i][1] = array1.get(i).substring(spaceIndex+1, array1.get(i).length());
}
Arrays.sort(scoreboard, new Comparator<String[]>() {
@Override
public int compare(String[] entry1, String[] entry2) {
String time1 = entry1[1];
String time2 = entry2[1];
return time1.compareTo(time2);
}
});
What is the solution?
