这是你要找的东西

listOfCountryNames.sort(String::compareToIgnoreCase)

通过使用Collections.sort()，我们可以对列表进行排序。

public class EmployeeList {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        List<String> empNames= new ArrayList<String>();

        empNames.add("sudheer");
        empNames.add("kumar");
        empNames.add("surendra");
        empNames.add("kb");

        if(!empNames.isEmpty()){

            for(String emp:empNames){

                System.out.println(emp);
            }

            Collections.sort(empNames);

            System.out.println(empNames);
        }
    }
}

输出:

sudheer
kumar
surendra
kb
[kb, kumar, sudheer, surendra]

迟到总比不到好!以下是我们如何做(仅供学习之用)

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;

class SoftDrink {
    String name;
    String color;
    int volume; 

    SoftDrink (String name, String color, int volume) {
        this.name = name;
        this.color = color;
        this.volume = volume;
    }
}

public class ListItemComparision {
    public static void main (String...arg) {
        List<SoftDrink> softDrinkList = new ArrayList<SoftDrink>() ;
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Faygo", "ColorOne", 4));
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Fanta",  "ColorTwo", 3));
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Frooti", "ColorThree", 2));       
        softDrinkList .add(new SoftDrink("Freshie", "ColorFour", 1));

        Collections.sort(softDrinkList, new Comparator() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Object softDrinkOne, Object softDrinkTwo) {
                //use instanceof to verify the references are indeed of the type in question
                return ((SoftDrink)softDrinkOne).name
                        .compareTo(((SoftDrink)softDrinkTwo).name);
            }
        }); 
        for (SoftDrink sd : softDrinkList) {
            System.out.println(sd.name + " - " + sd.color + " - " + sd.volume);
        }
        Collections.sort(softDrinkList, new Comparator() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Object softDrinkOne, Object softDrinkTwo) {
                //comparision for primitive int uses compareTo of the wrapper Integer
                return(new Integer(((SoftDrink)softDrinkOne).volume))
                        .compareTo(((SoftDrink)softDrinkTwo).volume);
            }
        });

        for (SoftDrink sd : softDrinkList) {
            System.out.println(sd.volume + " - " + sd.color + " - " + sd.name);
        }   
    }
}

使用Collections.sort的两个参数。你会想要一个合适的比较器，处理大小写适当(即词法，而不是UTF16排序)，比如通过java.text.Collator.getInstance获得。

JAVA 8相同:-

//Assecnding order
        listOfCountryNames.stream().sorted().forEach((x) -> System.out.println(x));

//Decending order
        listOfCountryNames.stream().sorted((o1, o2) -> o2.compareTo(o1)).forEach((x) -> System.out.println(x));

//Here is sorted List alphabetically with syncronized
