How to sort String array according to users input

I tried to sort String array using users input of which column they want to edit. However, sorted array cannot be displayed. I do not know how to modify or where to modify. Here, String array is made from first name, last name, and middle initial. So, logic is comparing adjacent column and of former comes later alphabetically, there is a swap going on. If two array have the same string, then compare the next row and the same column and again a swap going on. ( this is only for the 1st and 2nd column)
And also I want to modify array according to user’s input of column they want to sort. Am I correctly using Scanner class?
Here’s my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Multi_dimensional_array {
public static void main(String args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String students= {{"Prachaya" , "Johnson" , "M"}, {"Hafsa" , "Pillips", "R" }, { "Junnosuke", "Andews", "D"}, {"Aithima" , "Peters", "H"}, {"Jenwiji", "Davis","J" }};
int arrlen = students.length;
System.out.println("original array is:" );
System.out.println();
for(int count1 = 0; count1 < arrlen; count1++)
{
for(int count2 = 0; count2 < arrlen -2; count2++)
{
System.out.print(students[count1][count2] + " t" );
}
System.out.println();
}
String temp = "";
//This is sorted array according to user's input
int x = 0; int y = 0;
int column;
Scanner sc =new Scanner (System.in);
//Ask user's imput of column he/she wants to edit
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Please Enter the number of column you want to edit: ");
column = sc.nextInt();
if ( column == 1)

Usin a 2D array is a horrible way of doing that. Create a Student class, and use a Student array (i.e.Student
. Then google for " how to sort objects in Java".

Anyway, all you need isArrays.sort(students, Comparator.comparing(student -> student[colomb]))
. Note that the proper term iscolumn
, notcolomb
.

this code is almost unreadable. You should learn to reuse code by using separate methods for code used in several places ...

java arrays sorting columnsorting
I tried to sort String array using users input of which column they want to edit. However, sorted array cannot be displayed. I do not know how to modify or where to modify. Here, String array is made from first name, last name, and middle initial. So, logic is comparing adjacent column and of former comes later alphabetically, there is a swap going on. If two array have the same string, then compare the next row and the same column and again a swap going on. ( this is only for the 1st and 2nd column)
And also I want to modify array according to user’s input of column they want to sort. Am I correctly using Scanner class?
Here’s my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Multi_dimensional_array {
public static void main(String args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String students= {{"Prachaya" , "Johnson" , "M"}, {"Hafsa" , "Pillips", "R" }, { "Junnosuke", "Andews", "D"}, {"Aithima" , "Peters", "H"}, {"Jenwiji", "Davis","J" }};
int arrlen = students.length;
System.out.println("original array is:" );
System.out.println();
for(int count1 = 0; count1 < arrlen; count1++)
{
for(int count2 = 0; count2 < arrlen -2; count2++)
{
System.out.print(students[count1][count2] + " t" );
}
System.out.println();
}
String temp = "";
//This is sorted array according to user's input
int x = 0; int y = 0;
int column;
Scanner sc =new Scanner (System.in);
//Ask user's imput of column he/she wants to edit
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Please Enter the number of column you want to edit: ");
column = sc.nextInt();
if ( column == 1)
{
if( x < arrlen - 1)
{
for (x = 0; x < arrlen; x++)
{
//swap array[0][0] and array [1][0] / [1][0] and [2][0] / [2][0] and [3][0] / [3][0] and [4][0] / [4][0] and [5][0]

Anyway, all you need isArrays.sort(students, Comparator.comparing(student -> student[colomb]))
