import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Lautturi {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<String> list = Arrays.asList(
				"hello","lautturi","java","python","world","lau","perl","js");
		
		List<String> sorted = list.stream().sorted((o1,o2)-> o1.compareTo(o2)).collect(Collectors.toList());

		// List<String> sorted = list.stream().sorted((o1,o2)-> o1.length() - o2.length() ).collect(Collectors.toList()); // order by length of string
		// List<String> sorted = list.stream().sorted((o1,o2)-> o2.compareTo(o1)).collect(Collectors.toList()); // sort list in decreasing/descending/reverse order
		
		System.out.println("list:"+list);
		System.out.println("sorted list:"+sorted);

}

output:

original list:[hello, lautturi, java, python, world, lau, perl, js]
sorted list:[hello, java, js, lau, lautturi, perl, python, world]

output:
