In Java, you can sort collections such as lists using the Collections.sort() method for natural ordering or with a custom Comparator. For example Collections.sort(list);
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator() {
public int compare(Type o1, Type o2) {
// custom comparison logic
}
});
In Java, you can sort collections using the Collections.sort() method for lists and the Arrays.sort() method for arrays. For custom sorting, implement the Comparable interface for objects or use a Comparator for more flexible sorting criteria. Both methods use the efficient and stable merge sort algorithm, ensuring reliable sorting performance for various data types and sizes.
