Answer 1

For reverse sorting just change the order of x1, x2 for calling the x1.compareTo(x2) method the result will be reverse to one another

Default order

List sortedByName = citiesName.stream().sorted((s1,s2)->s1.compareTo(s2)).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println("Sorted by Name : "+ sortedByName);

Reverse Order

List reverseSortedByName = citiesName.stream().sorted((s1,s2)->s2.compareTo(s1)).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println("Reverse Sorted by Name : "+ reverseSortedByName );
