Sorting linked list

Question

//would anyone know how to sort this, tried to put in a bubble sort but i got some many errors i deleted it
import uuInOut;
class studentlist
public static void main(String [] args)
final int LENGTH = 10; //the length of the list
//declare variables
String name, temp3, searchName;
int age, id, current;
boolean present = false;
//create new linked list
LinkedList list = new LinkedList();
//open data
uuTextFile data = new uuTextFile("data.txt");
data.OpenInputFile();
//add data from data file to the linked list
while (!data.EOF)
name = data.ReadString();//read name
age = data.ReadInt();//read age
id = data.ReadInt();//read id
//new instance of studentrecord to add to list
StudentRecord temp = new StudentRecord(name, age, id);
list.insert(0, temp);//add to list
//Print The whole list
for (int x = 0; x < list.length(); x ++)
StudentRecord temp2 = (StudentRecord)list.elementAt(x);
temp2.printdetails();
System.out.println("First in list: ");
StudentRecord First = (StudentRecord)list.getHead().getElement();
First.printdetails();//print the first entered in the list
System.out.println("Last in List: ");
int x = list.length() - 1;
StudentRecord Last = (StudentRecord)list.elementAt(x);
Last.printdetails();//print the last entered in the list
System.out.println("Please Enter Current Position: ");
current = uuInOut.ReadInt();
StudentRecord next = (StudentRecord) list.elementAt(current + 1);
next.printdetails();//prints the next position in the list
System.out.println("Please Enter Name: ");
temp3 = uuInOut.ReadString();//reads in a name to search for in the list
//loop to search through the list for the name entered
for (int j = 0; j < list.length(); j++){
StudentRecord temp4 = (StudentRecord)list.elementAt(j);
searchName = temp4.getname();
if (temp3.equals(searchName))
present = true;
System.out.println(present);
if (present == true)
System.out.println("Student Name Found");
else System.out.println("Not in list" );
}

Answer 1

You could scrap this implementation and use a Collection class, then use Collections.sort. Or you could have your implementation implement the List interface and use Collections.sort. But more than likely you are supposed to do this for homework, so in that case I would try to implement the bubble sort and fix it until you don't get any errors. There are other sort routines you could use, but they are all more complicated than the bubble sort, so you will likely get many errors doing that too.
Good luck
