java数组排序Arrays.sort，以及Comparator接口的用法

有的时候需要对数组里的element进行排序。当然可以自己编写合适的排序方法，但既然java包里有自带的Arrays.sort排序方法，在数组元素比较少的时候为何不用？

Sorting an Array 1. 数字排序  int[] intArray = new int[] { 4, 1, 3, -23 };
Arrays.sort(intArray);
输出： [-23, 1, 3, 4]
2. 字符串排序，先大写后小写 String[] strArray = new String[] { "z", "a", "C" };
Arrays.sort(strArray);
输出： [C, a, z]
3. 严格按字母表顺序排序，也就是忽略大小写排序 Case-insensitive sort
Arrays.sort(strArray, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
输出： [a, C, z]
4. 反向排序， Reverse-order sort
Arrays.sort(strArray, Collections.reverseOrder());
输出：[z, a, C]
5. 忽略大小写反向排序 Case-insensitive reverse-order sort
Arrays.sort(strArray, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
Collections.reverse(Arrays.asList(strArray));
输出： [z, C, a]

java初学者最常见的错误思想，就是试图去写一些方法来完成数组的排序功能，其实，数组排序功能，在java的api里面早已实现，我们没有必要去重复制造轮子。
Arrays类有一个静态方法sort,利用这个方法我们可以传入我们要排序的数组进去排序，因为我们传入的是一个数组的引用，所以排序完成的结果也通过这个引用的来更改数组.对于整数、字符串排序，jdk提供了默认的实现，如果要对一个对象数组排序，则要自己实现java.util.Comparator接口。
