How can I sort an ArrayList of Strings in Java?

Question

I have Strings that are put into an ArrayList randomly.

private ArrayList teamsName = new ArrayList();

You can use TreeSet that automatically order list values:

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class TreeSetExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Tree Set Example!\n");

        TreeSet tree = new TreeSet();
        tree.add("aaa");
        tree.add("acbbb");
        tree.add("aab");
        tree.add("c");
        tree.add("a");

        Iterator iterator;
        iterator = tree.iterator();

        System.out.print("Tree set data: ");

        //Displaying the Tree set data
        while (iterator.hasNext()){
            System.out.print(iterator.next() + " ");
        }
    }

}

I lastly add 'a' but last element must be 'c'.
