{
    /* Methods

    public static void sort(Object[], Object[], int, int, boolean);

}
Object subclass containing static sorting methods.

Methods

sort

  public static void sort(Object array[],
                          Object other[],
                          int begin,
                          int count,
                          boolean ascending)
Sorts a homogenous collection of objects. The objects must all implement the Comparable interface or be Strings. It also operates on a parallel array of Objects--as elements of the Comparable array are swapped, corresponding elements in the Object array are swapped as well.

sortStrings

  public static void sortStrings(Object strings[],
                                 int begin,
                                 int count,
                                 boolean ascending,
                                 boolean ignoreCase)
Sorts an array of strings. If ignoreCase is true, the sort ignores case (i.e. converts the strings to upper case and then compares them). If ascending is true, this method sorts the strings in ascending order, descending otherwise.
