I am using below test method to check whether the Arraylist is sorted as expected.
@Test
void compareFields()
{
Assignment14 assignment14 = new Assignment14();
ArrayList<Person> PeopleList = new ArrayList<Person>();
PeopleList.add(new Person("Alex",56));
PeopleList.add(new Person("Thomas",23));
PeopleList.add(new Person("John",10));
ArrayList<Person> actualSortedResult = assignment14.compareFields(PeopleList);
ArrayList<Person> expectedSortedResult = new ArrayList<Person>();
expectedSortedResult.add(new Person("Alex",56));
expectedSortedResult.add(new Person("John",10));
expectedSortedResult.add(new Person("Thomas",23));
Assert.assertEquals(expectedSortedResult, actualSortedResult);
}
But although the expected and the actual are similar an error is occuring as fellows.
java.lang.AssertionError: expected: java.util.ArrayList<[Person{name='Alex', age=56}, Person{name='John', age=10}, Person{name='Thomas', age=23}]> but was: java.util.ArrayList<[Person{name='Alex', age=56}, Person{name='John', age=10}, Person{name='Thomas', age=23}]>
Expected :java.util.ArrayList<[Person{name='Alex', age=56}, Person{name='John', age=10}, Person{name='Thomas', age=23}]>
Actual :java.util.ArrayList<[Person{name='Alex', age=56}, Person{name='John', age=10}, Person{name='Thomas', age=23}]>

I have tried the below assertion types but nothing worked.
assertTrue("check equality", Arrays.equals(expectedSortedResult.toArray(), actualSortedResult.toArray()));
Assert.assertEquals(expectedSortedResult, actualSortedResult);
assertEquals(expectedSortedResult, actualSortedResult);
assertTrue(expectedSortedResult.equals(actualSortedResult));
assertArrayEquals(expectedSortedResult, actualSortedResult);
Can I know what is wrong with my method or what should be done?
