enum within an enum

public enum A {
A1_ASC,
A1_DSC,
A2_ASC,
A2_DSC;
}

If I access A1_ASC, I have to do A.A1_ASC.

Is it possible to have a so called enum within an enum so that i can do a:

A.ASC.A1
A.ASC.A1
A.DSC.A2
A.DSC.A2

how about
public class A {
public static enum A1 {...}
public static enum A2 {...}
}

I tried that but instead of having the method accepting (A a) as the
parameter, I must change it to 'method(A.ASC a)' and add another method
'method(A.DSC a)' rather than having one method 'method(A a)'.
