Java Vector - sort() Method

The java.util.Vector.sort() method is used to sort the elements of the list according to the order induced by the specified comparator.

Example:

In the example below, the java.util.Vector.sort() method is used to sort the given vector.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating a vector
    Vector<Integer> Vec = new Vector<Integer>();

    //populating vector
    Vec.add(50);
    Vec.add(40);
    Vec.add(10);
    Vec.add(30);
    Vec.add(20);

    //printing vector
    System.out.println("Vec contains: "+ Vec);    

    //sorting the vector
    Collections.sort(Vec);

    //printing vector
    System.out.println("Vec contains: "+ Vec);  
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

Vec contains: [50, 40, 10, 30, 20]
Vec contains: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
