Stream API feature was introduced in Java 8 but it is still confusing for many and also many have not even used it a single time. I will try to explain Java Stream concepts with simple examples in Learn Stream API in Java with Examples series.
In this post, we will learn to Sort List In Ascending & Descending Order Using Java Stream API i.e. sorted() method.
If you want to learn from a video tutorial then please refer to the below video –
Java stream provides a method sorted() which can sort List in ascending and descending order without you to write any complex logic. By default sorting() method sorts the list in ascending order. If we want to sort in descending order we need to pass Comparator.reverseOrder() in sorted() method as a parameter.
package solveproblemswithsreams; import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class SortListUsingJavaStreamAPI { public static void main(String[] args) { List unsortedList = Arrays.asList(10,1,21,3,6,2); // Sorting in natural order or ascending order List sortedListAsc = unsortedList.stream() .sorted() .collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println("Before sorting : "+ unsortedList); System.out.println("After sorting : "+ sortedListAsc); // Sorting in descending order List sortedListDesc = unsortedList.stream() .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder()) .collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println("Before sorting : "+ unsortedList); System.out.println("After sorting : "+ sortedListDesc); }
}
Before sorting : [10, 1, 21, 3, 6, 2] After sorting : [1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 21] Before sorting : [10, 1, 21, 3, 6, 2] After sorting : [21, 10, 6, 3, 2, 1]
