Which collection should I use to store names of products?
You can use SET because the values of a set are stored unordered, but will return the elements in sorted order when queried.

Hi @biswa333_125242:
As suggested by other please be more specific to your requirement.
As far as I understood, you want to store orders placed against some key and like to keep the track of orders by date placed, also the product could be ordered multiple times. If so then using List could be a good choice to maintain natural creation date order. Cheers!!
@biswa333_125242 I could not understand your requirements clearly. The various collection choices and their uses are as listed below.
- LIST
- Element order is maintained (may not be the natural order of the elements)
- It supports storing same value multiple times.
- List values are returned according to their index value in the list.
- SET
- A set stores a group of elements that are returned in sorted order when queried.
- It does not allow storing duplicate elements.
- Values are returned in alphabetical order when queried, assuming the values are text.
- MAP
- It stores key-value pairs.
- For each key, only one value may exist.
- A map is a (sorted) set of key-value pairs, where keys are unique and the map is sorted by its keys.
You can review your requirements and map the right collection type to use. Or please feel free to update the question with more details and we can provide further details.
