Sorting Arabic words in android

Question

I have a list of Arabic words.

الأَحَد, الاِثنَين, الثُّلاثاء, الأَربِعاء, الخَميس, الجُمعة,السَّبت

How can I sort it (sort by alphabet) ?

updated :

how can I set arrabicCollator to Collections ?

    Locale arrabic= new Locale("ar");
    Collator arrabicCollator = Collator.getInstance(arrabic);

    Collections.sort(arr_items, new Comparator<Helper>() {


        @Override
        public int compare(Helper one, Helper two) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return one.getTitle().compareTo(two.getTitle());
        }

    });

solved :

    Locale arabic = new Locale("ar");
    final Collator arabicCollator = Collator.getInstance(arabic);


    Collections.sort(arr_items, new Comparator<Helper>() {


        @Override
        public int compare(Helper one, Helper two) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            return arabicCollator.compare(one.getTitle(), two.getTitle());
        }

    });

helper is a class that include setter and getter functions and arr_items is an array if helper :

ArrayList arr_items = new ArrayList<>();

what do you mean? how is it different from sorting any other list of words? — njzk2, Oct 02 '14 at 16:16
