Sorting ArrayList with Lambda in Java 8

Question

Could somebody show me a quick example how to sort an ArrayList alphabetically in Java 8 using the new lambda syntax.

Answer 1

Suppose you have List of names(String) which you want to sort alphabetically.

List result = names.stream().sorted(
                 Comparator.comparing(n->n.toString())).collect(Collectors.toList());

its working perfectly.
