Sorting String with non-western characters

Question

I wanted to print sorted Polish names of all available languages.

import java.util.*;

public class Tmp
{
  public static void main(String... args)
  {
    L         


        

Answer 1

You should pass a Collator to the sort method:

// sort according to default locale
Collections.sort(langs, Collator.getInstance());

The default sort order is defined by the Unicode codepoints in the string, and that's not the correct alphabetical order in any language.
