UML

If an Employee class is present and its objects are added in an arrayList. Now I want the list to be sorted on the basis of the employeeID of Employee class. What are the steps?
 1.    Implement Comparable interface for the Employee class and override the compareTo(Object obj) method in which compare the employeeID
 2.    Now call Collections.sort() method and pass list as an argument.

How about when Employee class is a jar file and you do not have access to its source code?
 •    Since Comparable interface cannot be implemented, create Comparator and override the compare(Object obj, Object obj1) method .
 •    Call Collections.sort() on the list and pass Comparator as an argument.
