Yes, 2 things — firstly, the above sort is case sensitive, that is the uppercase takes priority over lowercase pushing ‘Java’ after ‘JSP’. Secondly, if the collection had any null values, it will throw a NullpointerException. These two issues can be rectified by providing a custom sorting implementation that ignores case and handles null values … Read more

Can you write code to sort the following string values naturally (i.e. in alphabetical order)? (JEE, Java, Servlets, JMS, JNDI, JDBC, JSP, and EJB)
