Sorting Alphanumeric Strings in Java


Date: 2025-03-05
This JavaCodeGeeks article explains how to sort alphanumeric strings in Java. It details three methods: lexicographic sorting (using String::compareTo
), which orders strings based on Unicode values; natural sorting, requiring a custom comparator to handle numbers correctly; and case-insensitive sorting using String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER
. The article provides code examples for each method, highlighting the differences in output and demonstrating how to choose the appropriate method based on specific needs.
