Collections.sort() in Java with Examples
java.util.Collections.sort() method is present in java.util.Collections class. It is used to sort the elements present in the specified list of Collection in ascending order.
It works similar to java.util.Arrays.sort() method but it is better then as it can sort the elements of Array as well as linked list, queue and many more present in it.
public static void sort(List myList)
myList : A List type object we want to sort.
This method doesn't return anything
Example:
Let us suppose that our list contains
{"Geeks For Geeks", "Friends", "Dear", "Is", "Superb"}
After using Collection.sort(), we obtain a sorted list as
{"Dear", "Friends", "Geeks For Geeks", "Is", "Superb"}

Arrays.sort() vs Collections.sort()
Arrays.sort works for arrays which can be of primitive data type also. Collections.sort() works for objects Collections like ArrayList, LinkedList, etc.
We can use Collections.sort() to sort an array after creating a ArrayList of given array items.
