Sorting ArrayList

Question

Since I\'m just starting with JAVA, I\'m curious what is the best option for implementing sorting in JAVA (for ArrayLists). Below I provide my PHP code.

public i

Try this Way on you example :

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ArrayList listOfStringArrays = new ArrayList();
        listOfStringArrays.add(new String[] {"x","y","z"});
        listOfStringArrays.add(new String[] {"a","b","c"});
        listOfStringArrays.add(new String[] {"m","n","o"});
        Collections.sort(listOfStringArrays,new Comparator() {
            public int compare(String[] strings, String[] otherStrings) {
                return strings[1].compareTo(otherStrings[1]);
            }
        });
        for (String[] sa : listOfStringArrays) {
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(sa));
        }
        /* prints out 
          [a, b, c]
          [m, n, o]
          [x, y, z]
        */ 

    }
