put value in list at the beginning

[nimo frey]

I have a ArrayList, when I put a value, the value is put at the end of the list.
How can I put it at the beginning of the list?
Do I have to use a comparator or is there a easier better way?

have you took a look at the docs of the java.util.ArrayList here ?? take a look at the several add() methods.

You wouldn't usually use a Comparator with a List. A List "remembers" the order you insert the elements, and if you follow omar al kababji's hint, you can select a different insertion ordering.
A Comparator is used with some Sets so as to order the elements in the order of the elements' "value". Look at Comparator and this Set interface.

Let me give you a hint....


You want to Add an element to the 0th position of an ArrayList
