use the sort method of d Arrays class, for example: String [] arr= {"aer","err"}; Arrays.sort(arr);

check below link this is the best program I found: after copying code from website, replace old string with String str={"sggdh","ghhdhx"}; https://javasimplify.blogspot.in/2017/09/java-program-to-sort-string-without.html?m=1

Do like this- String str [] ={"afsf","hsja","hdjs"};//unsorted array List<String> list=Arrays.asList(str);//array to list Collections.sort(list);//sorted list str= list.toArray(new String[0]);// sorted array Intermediate conversation to list is required as Collections.sort is not applicable to array

import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Collections; ArrayList<Character> arr = new ArrayList<Character>; push elements into it and then use: Collections.sort(arr); Instead of character you can substitute any data type.

Your question suppose you can sort an array of integers or doubles. I will not give you a code because i don't know your level for choosing a sorting algorithm but I can say you this: generally languages provide string comparison you can test the language in which you want to implement the sorting algorithm and test something like this a = "abc" b = "efg" c = a > b a and b are both strings c is a Boolean print the value of c if it's correct (c is false because lexicographically a is less than b) you can write the same algorithm that you use for sorting an integers or doubles and applied that to strings. I have tried to make explanation simple as possible, sorry for my bad English 😅.

import java.util.Arrays; import java.io.*; /*How many names you want to sort : 5 Enter 1 name : Mark Enter 2 name : Bill Enter 3 name : Larry Enter 4 name : John Enter 5 name : Alexander Sorted names -> Alexander Bill John Larry Mark*/ class SortString { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); // create a Java String array String[] names = null; System.out.print("How many names you want to sort : "); int size = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); names = new String[size]; for(int i = 0; i<size;i++) { System.out.print("Enter "+(i+1)+" name : "); names[i] = br.readLine(); } // sort the array, using the sort method of the Arrays class Arrays.sort(names); System.out.println("Sorted names -> "); // print the sorted results for (String name : names) { System.out.println("\t"+name); } } }
