If the objects implement Comparer or you supply an instance of
something that implements Comparable, then you can use
Collections.sort !

File does implement Comparable. The comparison is based on the abstract
path name. If that is what you want, use the single argument form of
Collections.sort

If you want to sort e.g. by just the actual file name, not the whole
path name, or if you want to sort objects of a class that does not
implement Comparable, use the two argument form of Collections.sort and
provide your own Comparator.
