Hi,

How do I show a JCombobox always display the selected item as the
first selection. For example you have the following list

Apple
Pear
Banana
Melon
Grapes

If I press the 'B' then the banan item has to be the first item in the
combo box displayed.

Have you tried adding an actionListener which re-orders the list when an
item is selected?
