RE: sorting a collection

Title: RE: sorting a collection

If the objects are Strings, you can use the String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER Comparator.  Pass it in to the sort method along with your array.

                                      Cows                                
                                      apples                              
                                      rocks                               
                                                                          
                                      I need to sort my arrays like this  
                                                                          
                                      Acorns                              
                                      apples                              
                                      Bees                                
                                      Birds                               
                                      Cows                                
                                      rocks                               
                                                                          
                                      Any idea how I can do this?  I need 
                                      it to be completely case            
                                      insensitive.                        
                                                                          
                                      Thanks,
