Lexicographic sorting in java?

Question

I am trying to sort 3 strings alphabetically using the compareTo method in java without using arrays.

Is the fastest way to do this by setting up 6 compare statements and sorting by least to greatest or is there any easier way? Thanks!

Why six comparisons? Wouldn't three be enough? – Thilo Sep 25 '13 at 04:36 — Thilo, Sep 25 '13 at 04:36
Is the use of `Collections` allowed, if not arrays?! – Rahul Sep 25 '13 at 04:41 — Rahul, Sep 25 '13 at 04:41

put it into TreeSet.

  TreeSet<String> t = new TreeSet<>();
  t.add("stack");
  t.add("over");
  t.add("flow");
  System.out.println(t);

OutPut:

[flow, over, stack]
