Bubblesort is a slow algorithm... but it's ok for learning purposes :)irrelephant– irrelephant2011-01-07 08:30:53 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2011 at 8:30

Why not go straight to bogosort? Propably useful for learning, too ;)user395760– user3957602011-01-07 08:31:47 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2011 at 8:31

Yes: use the sorting that is built into the standard library.
For example, http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#sort%28java.util.List%29

To sort an ArrayList I used the Collections.sort(), included the in the ArrayList class. eg.
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
To sort it I would say,
Collections.sort(list);
and this would sort the ArrayList
