How can I sort a list using Java Stream API?

How can I sort a list using Java Stream API?

You can sort a list in Java using the Stream API by calling the sorted() method. For example, if you have a list of integers, you can do this: list.stream().sorted().collect(Collectors.toList());.

Can I sort a list of custom objects?

Yes, you can sort a list of custom objects by providing a comparator. For example: list.stream().sorted(Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getField)).collect(Collectors.toList());.

What if I want to sort in descending order?

You can sort in descending order by using sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder()) or by reversing the comparator: list.stream().sorted(Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getField).reversed()).collect(Collectors.toList());.

Is it possible to sort based on multiple fields?

Yes, you can sort by multiple fields by chaining comparators. For example: list.stream().sorted(Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getFirstField).thenComparing(CustomObject::getSecondField)).collect(Collectors.toList());.
