Method Detail

orderedFileInsert

public static void orderedFileInsert(java.io.File file,
                                     java.util.Vector into)

Insert a File into a vector, maintaing the order:

Directory then files in alphabetical order.

Parameters:

file - The File used to sort.

into - The target sorted vector.

sortStringKeys

public static java.util.Vector sortStringKeys(java.util.Hashtable h)

Get the keys of this hashtable, sorted.

Parameters:

h - The hashtable whose String keys are wanted.

sortStringEnumeration

public static java.util.Vector sortStringEnumeration(java.util.Enumeration e)

Sort the given String enumeration.

Returns:

A sorted vector of String.

sortComparableKeys

public static java.util.Vector sortComparableKeys(java.util.Hashtable h)

Get the keys of this hashtable, sorted.

Parameters:

h - The hashtable whose Comparable keys are wanted.

sortComparableEnumeration

public static java.util.Vector sortComparableEnumeration(java.util.Enumeration e)

Sort the given Comparable enumeration.

Returns:

A sorted vector of Comparable instance.

sortStringArray

public static java.lang.String[] sortStringArray(java.lang.String[] array,
                                                 boolean inplace)

Sort the given String array in place.

Parameters:

array - The array of String to sort.

inplace - Sort the array in place if true, allocate a fresh array for the result otherwise.

Returns:

The same array, with string sorted.

sortComparableArray

public static Comparable[] sortComparableArray(Comparable[] array,
                                               boolean inplace)
