How to check webelements in webtable is sorted alphabetically using selenium webdriver?

Question

Our application contains table of web elements. My aim is to check whether the contents table is alphabetically ordered.

WebDriver d=new FirefoxDriver();
d.get("http://www.javatpoint.com/wrapper-class-in-java");

WebElement table=d.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='city']/table/tbody"));
List<WebElement> lst=table.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
System.out.println(lst);

List ls=new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i=0;i<=6;i++)
{
    ls=lst.addAll(get(i).getText())
}

My aim is to store string type webelement in one list and create another list which is of sorted kind in the end compare two list. Please help.

You can store the default sorting in a string array like obtainedList and then sort it using collections for sortedList and lastly both.

ArrayList<String> obtainedList = new ArrayList<>(); 
List<WebElement> elementList= driver.findElements(By.xpath(YourLocator));
for(webElement we:elementList){
   obtainedList.add(we.getText);
}
ArrayList<String> sortedList = new ArrayList<>();   
for(String s:obtainedList){
sortedList.add(s);
}
Collections.sort(sortedList);
Assert.assertTrue(sortedList.equals(obtainedList));

For descending order add:

Collections.reverse(sortedList);

after Collections.sort(sortedList);

How about in Selenium with Python, could you support me for this, please. Thank you – Jin Mar 05 '21 at 08:48
For descending order you have to use Collections.sort(obtainedList,Collections.reverseOrder()); – Sobhit Sharma Aug 07 '21 at 13:49

Collections.sort(SortedList,String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);

Just improvising we need to add String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER to match case sensitive sorts!

public boolean sortVerify() {
    List<WebElement> theList=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@id='productView']/div/div/div/div"));
    List<Integer> Prices=new ArrayList<>();

    for (int NumberOfItem=1; NumberOfItem<theList.size();NumberOfItem++) {
        System.out.println("feteching by xpath price");
        String priceOneRaw=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"p_"+NumberOfItem+"_1\"]/div/div[5]/div/span[1]")).getText();
        System.out.println("feteching by xpath price--------"+priceOneRaw);
        ////below 2 lines are to get the price in exact integers, as earlier it was in format Rs.3829.
    String priceOneFinal=priceOneRaw.replaceAll("[\\-\\?\\+\\.\\^:,\\\u20B9]","");
    String PriceComplete = priceOneFinal.split("Rs")[1];
    int finalPrice=Integer.parseInt(PriceComplete);
    Prices.add(finalPrice);
    }

    int previousPrice=Prices.get(0);
    for(int SortCheckNumber=1;SortCheckNumber<theList.size()-1;SortCheckNumber++) {
        if(Prices.get(SortCheckNumber)<previousPrice) {
            System.out.println("notSorted");
            return false;
        }else {
            previousPrice=Prices.get(SortCheckNumber);
        }

    }
    System.out.println("allSorted");
    return true;
}
