).Modify the project so that records are inserted into the random access file in ascending order...

).Modify the project so that records are inserted into the random access file in ascending order using an insertion sort methodology with the Social Security Number acting as the key value. This requires defining the method compareTo() in the Personal and Student classes to be used in a modified method add() in Database. The method finds a proper position for a record d, moves all the records in the file to make room for d, and writes d into the file.

2. With the new organization of the data files. find() and modify() must also be modified. Both methods should now stop their sequential search when they encounter a record greater than the record looked for, or they reach the end of the file.

Can somebody check the compareTo() and help me out with the add() method in this question.
