Question

Help! Not sure how to create this java program to run efficiently. Current code and assignment attached.

Assignment :Write a class Movies.java that reads in a movie list file (movies.txt). The file must contain the following fields: name, genre, and time. Provide the user with the options to sort on each field. Allow the user to continue to sort the list until they enter the exit option.
