I have a java form using JCombobox. There is a "text field", "combobox" and "add" button. When I enter text in the text field, then click Add button, the text in the text field will fill into combobox, but it doesn't sort by a-z.
Below is my code in Add button.
private void cmdAddActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
if(MyInput.checkText(txtField)){ //MyInput is my own method code to check if the text is entered.
String st=txtField.getText();
combox.addItem(st);
String st1="";
String st2="";
int com=st1.compareTo(st2);
if(com<0){ //I create this string comparison
//I need to add the "sort" code here
}else{
}
}else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Please enter text."); //When no text is entered, this message appears.
}
