How can I sort a List alphabetically?

Question

I have a List<String> object that contains country names. How can I sort this list alphabetically?

Answer 1

Same in JAVA 8 :-

//Assecnding order
        listOfCountryNames.stream().sorted().forEach((x) -> System.out.println(x));

//Decending order
        listOfCountryNames.stream().sorted((o1, o2) -> o2.compareTo(o1)).forEach((x) -> System.out.println(x));
