在JAVA 8中，现在变得简单多了。

List<String> alphaNumbers = Arrays.asList("one", "two", "three", "four");
List<String> alphaNumbersUpperCase = alphaNumbers.stream()
    .map(String::toUpperCase)
    .sorted()
    .collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(alphaNumbersUpperCase); // [FOUR, ONE, THREE, TWO]

——反过来用这个

.sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder())

如果您正在使用Java SE 8，那么这可能会有所帮助。

//create a comparator object using a Lambda expression
Comparator<Double> compareDouble = (d1, d2) -> d1.compareTo(d2);

//Sort the Collection in this case 'testList' in reverse order
Collections.sort(testList, Collections.reverseOrder(compareDouble));

//print the sorted list using method reference only applicable in SE 8
testList.forEach(System.out::println);

//Here is sorted List alphabetically with syncronized

package com.mnas.technology.automation.utility;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

/**

public class SynchronizedArrayList {
    static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SynchronizedArrayList.class.getName());

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<Employee> synchronizedList = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<Employee>());
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Aditya"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Siddharth"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Manoj"));
        Collections.sort(synchronizedList, new Comparator() {
            public int compare(Object synchronizedListOne, Object synchronizedListTwo) {
                //use instanceof to verify the references are indeed of the type in question
                return ((Employee) synchronizedListOne).name
                        .compareTo(((Employee) synchronizedListTwo).name);
            }
        }); 
    /*for( Employee sd : synchronizedList) {
    log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List..."+sd.name);
    }*/

        // when iterating over a synchronized list, we need to synchronize access to the synchronized list
        synchronized (synchronizedList) {
            Iterator<Employee> iterator = synchronizedList.iterator();
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List Items: " + iterator.next().name);
            }
        }

    }
}

class Employee {
    String name;

    Employee(String name) {
        this.name = name;

    }
}

如果你必须根据对象在数组列表中的id来排序，那么使用java8流。

 List<Person> personList = new ArrayList<>();

    List<Person> personListSorted =
                personList.stream()
                  .sorted(Comparator.comparing(Person::getPersonId))
                  .collect(Collectors.toList());

例如，我有一个类Person: String name, int age ==>构造函数new Person(name,age)

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;


public void main(String[] args){
    Person ibrahima=new Person("Timera",40);
    Person toto=new Person("Toto",35);
    Person alex=new Person("Alex",50);
    ArrayList<Person> myList=new ArrayList<Person>
    Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator<Person>() {
        @Override
        public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
            // return p1.age+"".compareTo(p2.age+""); //sort by age
            return p1.name.compareTo(p2.name); // if you want to short by name
        }
    });
    System.out.println(myList.toString());
    //[Person [name=Alex, age=50], Person [name=Timera, age=40], Person [name=Toto, age=35]]
    Collections.reverse(myList);
    System.out.println(myList.toString());
    //[Person [name=Toto, age=35], Person [name=Timera, age=40], Person [name=Alex, age=50]]

}

import java.util.Collections;

Collections.sort(NamAryVar);

|=>

Collections.sort(NamAryVar, Collections.reverseOrder());

|*|颠倒列表顺序:

Collections.reverse(NamAryVar);
