{
   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 - 1; a++)
      {
         for(int b = 0; b <= arrNumbers.length - 2; b++)
         {
            if(arrNumbers[b] < arrNumbers[b + 1])
            {
               temp = arrNumbers[b];
               arrNumbers[b] = arrNumbers[b + 1];
               arrNumbers[b + 1] = temp;
            }
         }
      }
      System.out.println("---------------");
      System.out.println("After sort: ");
      for(int num : arrNumbers)  
      {
         System.out.println(num);
      }
   }
}

Example 4: 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);
   }
}
