Hi all,

Please could tell me how to sort a collection set in java and store in a new field? 

And how to extract the second element of the sorted collection and store the result in another field?

Please find the workflow attached.

Hey,

I appended a workflow that does the job with nodes and without Java-Snippet for you.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. But my goal is to do this in Java to increase the speed (I need to do this for a very large dataset). How to do this in java?

Thanks in advance

If you are desperate to do it with a Java Snippet Node, I guess you should have a look into TreeSet: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/TreeSet.html
