the criteria object api provides order class main api manage sorting.the order class has 2 methods set sorting order:

asc(string attribute) : sorts query attribute in ascending order.

desc(string attribute) : sorts query attribute in descending order.

now if want control "asc" or "desc" based on user input can following

let assume user input can "asc" or "desc".

criteria crit = session.createcriteria(product.class);       if (userinput.equals("asc")) {             crit.addorder(order.asc("price"));         } else if (userinput.equals("desc")) {             crit.addorder(order.desc("price"));         }
