Trying to use Collections.sort to sort my array with no luck

Question

I've made the array bellow and have no luck sorting it

String[] albums = {"Abbey Road - Beatles","Thriller - Michael Jackson",
    "Queen - News of the World","Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones",
    "Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon"};

Using Collections.sort(albums); gives the error: no suitable method for sort(String[])

I've imported java.util.*; but this error is still persisting

I'm still learning and don't understand how to fix this or what I'm missing

You have an array (not a Collection). You can use Arrays.sort(T[], Comparator<? super T>) to sort it. Like,

Arrays.sort(albums, Comparator.naturalOrder());
