Java: sort a String array, whose strings represent int

Question

I have String[] array like

{\"3\",\"2\",\"4\",\"10\",\"11\",\"6\",\"5\",\"8\",\"9\",\"7\"}

I want to sort it in numerical ord

Answer 1

I found this article about sorting strings by numeric sorting also for strings that may or may not contain numbers:

The Alphanum Algorithm

There is a Java implementation example linked from the article. With that class you should be able to sort your arrays numerically like this:

Arrays.sort(myarray, new AlphanumComparator());
