How to properly sort upper and lowercase Strings in Array in Android?

I have to sort subset of CLI arguments alphabetically. So, to sort subset the following code is used:

// Ignore args[0], sort the rest
Arrays.sort(args, 1, args.length);

And to sort ignoring case, I have to use some sort of comparator object. To sort subset with comparator, there is the following method signature:

Arrays.sort(array, from, to, comp);

Can it be done without creating comparator object on separate line, and include it in the Arrays.sort() signature (i.e. neat and understandable enough)?

Answer 1

You can use the built in comparator String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER:

Arrays.sort(args, 1, args.length, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
