How can I sort a JSONArray in JAVA [duplicate]

Try this:

    //I assume that we need to create a JSONArray object from the following string    String jsonArrStr = "[ { \"ID\": \"135\", \"Name\": \"Fargo Chan\" },{ \"ID\": \"432\", \"Name\": \"Aaron Luke\" },{ \"ID\": \"252\", \"Name\": \"Dilip Singh\" }]";    JSONArray jsonArr = new JSONArray(jsonArrStr);    JSONArray sortedJsonArray = new JSONArray();    List<JSONObject> jsonValues = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {        jsonValues.add(jsonArr.getJSONObject(i));    }    Collections.sort( jsonValues, new Comparator<JSONObject>() {        //You can change "Name" with "ID" if you want to sort by ID        private static final String KEY_NAME = "Name";        @Override        public int compare(JSONObject a, JSONObject b) {            String valA = new String();            String valB = new String();            try {                valA = (String) a.get(KEY_NAME);                valB = (String) b.get(KEY_NAME);            }             catch (JSONException e) {                //do something            }            return valA.compareTo(valB);            //if you want to change the sort order, simply use the following:            //return -valA.compareTo(valB);        }    });    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {        sortedJsonArray.put(jsonValues.get(i));    }

The sorted JSONArray is now stored in the sortedJsonArray object.
