Collections.sort method not working

[ISAIAH]

Hello,
I am looking for a way to sort an ArrayList <string> In a article you can use java.util.Collections.sort (my_list);. But this does not work with me. If any one has an idea about this then you can help me out. Basically I want to know how the Collections.sort method is not working. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Even I have similar kind of a query.

                BufferedWriter o = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(System.getProperty("user.dir")+ File.separator + "myfile.txt"));
                int i =0;
                int ed = db.size();

                java.util.Collections.fate(db);
                
                while(i <ed)
                {
                    o.write(db.get(i));
                    o.newLine();
                    i + +;
                }
                
                o.close();

Hello,
Your code worked and your list is sorted by natural order on the strings (lexicographical order)

- First digit (0 to 9)
- Then the capital letters (A to Z)
- Then lowercase (a to z)

Now if you want to sort by a different order, it'll have you explain it to java with methods that go well

Hello,
Yes, thanks I did not noticed that. It should be just that sort does not take into account the box that it has the object first and figures and letters from a to z without having to make a distinction between uppercase and lowercase. If you have any other alternative to this then please do post back. Even if you know any alternative method for performing the same, then please do post back.

Hello,
I have not tried to understand the stuff of local, but I board found a solution that works with the comparator

java.util.Collections.fate(db new Comparator <String>() {
                                 Public int compares(String s1, String s2) {
                                      return s1.compareToIgnoreCase(s2);
                                 }});

Thanks for the help.

Hello,
You have to simple mention this in your code

Collections.fate(list, coll.getInstance(Local.world));

It's a bit more expensive than a comparison "ignore-case" but it handles the accents and other local specificity.
Here it is

	List ls = <String> ntw ArrayList <String>();
ls.add("t");
ls.add("t");
ls.add("t");
ls.add("t");
ls.add("t");
ls.add("f");
ls.add("f");
ls.add("F");
