       //declare variables              int elecount;             list<string> customernamea = new arraylist();             list<string> customernameb = new arraylist();               // check our customer elements , count them.... replace xxx xpath             asserttrue(iselementpresent(by.xpath("xxx")));             elements = driver.findelements(by.xpath("xxx']"));              elecount = elements.size();                system.out.println("element count: " + elecount);              for(int = 2; < elecount; i++){                  //capture customer name values                 //replace xxx xpath & replace value increments each element in xpath + +                   customernamea.add(driver.findelement(by.xpath("xxx")).gettext());                 system.out.println(driver.findelement(by.xpath("xxx")).gettext());                 customernameb.add(driver.findelement(by.xpath("xxx")).gettext());              }             collections.sort(customernamea);                 (int i=0;i<customernamea.size();i++) {                 system.out.println("customer name input: " + customernameb.get(i)  +  "--customer name sorted input: " + customernamea.get(i));                 if (!(customernamea.get(i).equals(customernameb.get(i)))) {                                 system.out.println("customer names not sorted: " + i);                                 break;                  }             }         }
