Sorting Example for a Collection or Array of strings

          A list of strings to be sorted by using the array and by using Array list. To describe it a small piece of code is required.

Example:

package Test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;

public class StringSortExample {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

String[] strArray = { "Abhishek", "selenium", "Automation" };

//displaying the string array

displayArray(strArray);

   ///To sort an array

Arrays.sort(strArray);

//after sorting displaying array

displayArray(strArray);

  //sorted array with case insensitive
 
Arrays.sort(strArray, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);

displayArray(strArray);

System.out.println("---------------");

        ///sorting strings using arraylist

List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>();
strList.add("Abhishek");
strList.add("Webdriver");
strList.add("Automation");
displayList(strList);
     
Collections.sort(strList);
displayList(strList);

Collections.sort(strList, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
displayList(strList);
}

public static void displayArray(String[] array) {
for (String str : array) {
System.out.print(str + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}

public static void displayList(List<String> list) {
for (String str : list) {
System.out.print(str + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}

}

Output:

Abhishek selenium Automation
Abhishek Automation selenium
Abhishek Automation selenium
---------------
Abhishek Webdriver Automation
Abhishek Automation Webdriver
Abhishek Automation Webdriver
