With the stacktrace reported only it is hard to make any clear diagnosis.
I guess you did map a relation as sorted,
but in your code you initialize the relation with a java.util.HashSet instead to a java.util.SortedSet

yes i had the same

i made my collection with hashSet but should have made a TreeSet
