I need to modify this method to sort an array of strings rather than
chars:


To write general purpose sorts you need the Comparable or Comparator
interface. You implement the interface to do the compare, and your
sort uses only the methods of those interfaces to do the comparing.

order)

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/comparator.html(to define alternate orders)
