Vector Sort JAVA

I have created a Vector object to store data in Table object as Vector<Table>. Vector<Table> contains components as below.

[Vector<Record> records, String tableName, String keyColumnName, int recordCount, int columnCount]

I need to sort tableName in above Vector to my own order and return Vector<Table> with sorted tableNames for other processes.

How could i do this ?

UPDATED

I have wrote method as below.

private Vector<Table> orderTables(Vector<Table> loadTables) {

    ArrayList<String> tableNames = new ArrayList<String>();

    for (Table table : loadTables) {

        String tblName = table.getTableName();
        tableNames.add(tblName);

    }
    Collections.sort(tableNames, new MyComparable());

    return null;
}

But i have no idea about how to write Comparator to this. My own sort order is stored in .properties file. i can read it and get value. but i have no idea about how to compare it.

How could i do it ?

Just trying to give a pseudocode

TableComparator implements Comparator{
   int compare(Table source, Table destination){
     //implement your own custom logic of comparison
   }
}

Vector<Table> vectorTable = new Vector<Table>();
TableComparator tableComparator = new TableComparator();

Now use this comparator in Collections.sort(vectorTable,tableComparator);

I suggest you use Collections.sort with your own, custom, Comparator.
