sort the array in java code example

Example 1: sort array java

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

Example 2: sort array java

Here’s the java program to sort an array using Arrays.sort() method.

import java.util.Arrays;
public class JavaArraySortMethod
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      String[] strGiven = {"Great Barrier Reef", "Paris", "borabora", "Florence","tokyo", "Cusco"};
      Arrays.sort(strGiven);
      System.out.println("Output(case sensitive) : " + Arrays.toString(strGiven));
   }
}

Example 3: Arrays.sort() in java

// how to sort an array of strings in descending
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
public class SortStringAlphabeticalOrder 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      String[] strDesc = {"Bear","Fox","Deer","Cheetah","Anteater","Elephant"};
      System.out.println("Before sorting: ");
      for(String string : strDesc)
      {
         System.out.println(string);
      }
      // arrays.sort
      Arrays.sort(strDesc, Collections.reverseOrder());   
      System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
      System.out.println("Sorting string array in descending or reverse order: ");
      for(String string : strDesc)
      {
         System.out.println(string);
      }
   }
}

Example 4: java sort method

Arrays.sort();//this method is an inbuild function in java
//to sort the array

Example 5: java sort int array

// an array of ints
int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

// an array of reverse sorted ints
int[] arrDesc = Arrays.stream(arr).boxed()
    .sorted(Collections.reverseOrder())
    .mapToInt(Integer::intValue)
    .toArray();

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arrDesc)); // outputs [6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Example 6: 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]));
