java array sort by element code example

Example 1: sort array java

import java. util. Arrays;
Arrays. sort(array);

Example 2: Arrays.sort() in java

// how to sort an array in java without using sort() method (ascending order)
public class WithoutSortMethod
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      int temp;
      int[] arrNumbers = {14, 8, 5, 54, 41, 10, 1, 500};
      System.out.println("Before sort: ");
      for(int num : arrNumbers)
      {
         System.out.println(num);
      }
      for(int a = 0; a < arrNumbers.length; a++)
      {
         for(int b = a + 1; b < arrNumbers.length; b++)
         {
            if(arrNumbers[a] > arrNumbers[b])
            {
               temp = arrNumbers[a];
               arrNumbers[a] = arrNumbers[b];
               arrNumbers[b] = temp;
            }
         }
      }
      System.out.println("---------------");
      System.out.println("After sort: ");
      for(int num : arrNumbers)
      {
         System.out.println(num);
      }
   }
}

Example 3: Arrays.sort() in java

// java sort arraylist
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
public class JavaSortArraylist 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      ArrayList<String> al = new ArrayList<String>();
      al.add("Bear"); 
      al.add("Fox"); 
      al.add("Deer"); 
      al.add("Cheetah"); 
      al.add("Anteater");
      al.add("Elephant");
      System.out.println("Before sorting ArrayList: " + al);
      Collections.sort(al); 
      System.out.println("After sorting ArrayList in Ascending order: " + al);
   }
}

Example 4: java array sort by element

//sort array of array of integer by the second element;
int[][] array = new int[m][2];
//initialize array
Arrays.sort(array, (a,b)-> Integer.compare(a[1], b[1]));
