What did you use to display the data? An HTML table? If so then you need to use Javascript( not Java) to sort that.

You can sort it on the client using ECMAScript (sometimes called JavaScript) or you may need to do a round trip to the server and sort it there -- you may even end up generating a different SQL SELECT with appropriate ORDER BY clause in your back end code.

Some web frameworks like JSF make this table support easy.
