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())

//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;

/**
 * @author manoj.kumar
 */
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;

    }
}

如果列表中包含Comparable元素，可以使用Collections.sort(list)对列表进行排序。否则我建议你像这样实现接口:

public class Circle implements Comparable<Circle> {}

当然，提供你自己的compareTo方法的实现，如下所示:

@Override
    public int compareTo(Circle another) {
        if (this.getD()<another.getD()){
            return -1;
        }else{
            return 1;
        }
    }

然后你可以再次使用collection .sort(list)，因为现在list包含Comparable类型的对象，可以排序。顺序取决于compareTo方法。查看https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/collections/interfaces/order.html了解更多详细信息。

使用Eclipse Collections，您可以创建一个基本的双列表，对其排序，然后将其反向排列为降序。这种方法可以避免打双打。

MutableDoubleList doubleList =
    DoubleLists.mutable.with(
        0.5, 0.2, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.54, 0.71,
        0.71, 0.71, 0.92, 0.12, 0.65, 0.34, 0.62)
        .sortThis().reverseThis();
doubleList.each(System.out::println);

如果你想要一个List<Double>，那么下面的方法可以工作。

List<Double> objectList =
    Lists.mutable.with(
        0.5, 0.2, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.54, 0.71,
        0.71, 0.71, 0.92, 0.12, 0.65, 0.34, 0.62)
        .sortThis(Collections.reverseOrder());
objectList.forEach(System.out::println);

如果你想保持类型为ArrayList<Double>，你可以使用ArrayListIterate实用工具类初始化和排序列表，如下所示:

ArrayList<Double> arrayList =
    ArrayListIterate.sortThis(
            new ArrayList<>(objectList), Collections.reverseOrder());
arrayList.forEach(System.out::println);

注意:我是Eclipse Collections的提交者。

你可以这样做:

List<String> yourList = new ArrayList<String>();
Collections.sort(yourList, Collections.reverseOrder());

集合有一个默认的比较器可以帮助你。

另外，如果你想使用一些Java 8的新特性，你可以这样做:

List<String> yourList = new ArrayList<String>();
yourList = yourList.stream().sorted(Collections.reverseOrder()).collect(Collectors.toList());

  yearList = arrayListOf()
    for (year in 1950 until 2021) {
        yearList.add(year)
    }

   yearList.reverse()
    val list: ArrayList<String> = arrayListOf()

    for (year in yearList) {
        list.add(year.toString())
    }
