Sorting Text Files

[Andie]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sort a text file through java? I'm not asking to make a whole code up for me, just suggestions on what may help me to work on a code. Would I need to make another loop to sort the text file?

Store all lines of the text file in a List<String>; use the Collections.sort( ... ) algorithm to sort the lines and write the (sorted) lines back to a file.

kind regards,
