replace getName() with getLabel()
  
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	public List<string> fieldLable {get;set;}
	
	public objectlist()
	{
		getAccountFields
	
	}
	
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
           fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
          Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
          for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
          {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getLabel()+ '/>' );
          }
          fieldLable.sort();
         system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}

Thanks,
Shiva.
surasura
you code should be inside a method not directly inside class
  
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
          List<string> fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
       Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
       for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
       {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getName()+ '/>' );
       }
       
       system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}   
	   
}

where is the method? You have to write the code inside the method.

Public class classname{
    public void methodname{
     ------------code---------
   }
   }

Note :same code will be working in developer console.

How do I put the output in a table? How do I automatically sort the output fields before passing them to the table?
surasura
below code will do the soring 

just call the sort() method on your list
  
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	public List<string> fieldLable {get;set;}
	
	public objectlist()
	{
		getAccountFields
	
	}
	
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
          List<string> fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
          Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
          for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
          {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getName()+ '/>' );
          }
          fieldLable.sort();
         system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}   
	   
}

this is a sample page , do necessary modifications according to your requirment 
  
<apex:page Controller="objectlist">

    <apex:pageBlock title="My Content">

        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!fieldLable}" var="item">

            <apex:column value="{!item}" headervalue="field labels"/> 

        </apex:pageBlockTable> 

    </apex:pageBlock> 

</apex:page>

sorry my bad , replace your class with below code 
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	public List<string> fieldLable {get;set;}
	
	public objectlist()
	{
		getAccountFields
	
	}
	
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
           fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
          Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
          for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
          {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getName()+ '/>' );
          }
          fieldLable.sort();
         system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}   
	   
}

I was wondering what do I change to retrieve the Field Label instead of Field API Name...
surasura
replace getName() with getLabel()
  
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	public List<string> fieldLable {get;set;}
	
	public objectlist()
	{
		getAccountFields
	
	}
	
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
           fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
          Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
          for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
          {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getLabel()+ '/>' );
          }
          fieldLable.sort();
         system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}   
	   
}

Last thing...How do I only show the custom fields only? I don't need the standard fields( ex. Account ID , Account Description )
surasura
:D try below code  there is a method called IsCustom() 
  
public class objectlist {
    //Do not forget to get instance in constructor for this list
    //String type='Account';
	public List<string> fieldLable {get;set;}
	
	public objectlist()
	{
		getAccountFields
	
	}
	
	
	public void getAccountFields()
	{
          Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();
           fieldLable = new List<string>();
        
          Map <String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = gd.get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
          for(Schema.SObjectField fieldAPI : fieldMap.values())
          {
		       if(fieldAPI.getDescribe().isCustom() )
			   {
               fieldLable.add(+ '<' +fieldAPI.getDescribe().getLabel()+ '/>' );
			   }
          }
          fieldLable.sort();
         system.debug('fieldLable-----'+fieldLable);
	}   
	   
}
