Description
The following code shows how to sort an array of strings in reverse order.
Example
// w w w . j ava2 s .c om
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
class MyComparator implements Comparator<String> {
public int compare(String strA, String strB) {
return strB.compareTo(strA);
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
String strs[] = { "d", "h", "a", "c", "java2s.com" };
MyComparator rsc = new MyComparator();
Arrays.sort(strs, rsc);
for (String s : strs)
System.out.println(s + " ");
Arrays.sort(strs);
System.out.print("Sorted in natural order: ");
for (String s : strs)
System.out.println(s + " ");
}
}
