Q1. How to create list that will sort it's elements dynamically?

Ans. Override the behavior of collection class to sort the list upon each element addition. Though it's not recommended as list are sorting heavy data structures.

List<MyType> list = new ArrayList<MyType>() {
public boolean add(MyType mt) {
super.add(mt);
Collections.sort(list, comparator);
return true;
}
};
