Sort an array of strings

Sorting an array of strings means arranging the strings in a specific order, typically either in ascending or descending order based on a chosen sorting algorithm. The sorting algorithm compares pairs of strings and swaps their positions until the array is ordered according to the specified criteria. For example, sorting an array of names in alphabetical order would arrange the names from A to Z, while sorting in reverse alphabetical order would arrange the names from Z to A.

Here given code implementation process.

/*
    Java program for
    Sort an array of strings
*/
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Arrangement
{
    public void displayArray(String[] arr, int n)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        {
            System.out.print(" " + arr[i]);
        }
        System.out.print("\n");
    }
    public void sortStringArray(String[] arr, int n)
    {
        System.out.print(" Before Sort : ");
        displayArray(arr, n);
        // Sort string array
        Arrays.sort(arr);
        System.out.print(" After Sort  : ");
        displayArray(arr, n);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Arrangement task = new Arrangement();
        String[] arr = {
            "Blueberries" , "Apricots" , "Mango" , 
            "Avocado" , "Cherries" , "Grapes"
        };
        int n = arr.length;
        task.sortStringArray(arr, n);
    }
}

Output
