I need to sort (natural ordering) the contents of a Vector - contents are a set of Strings. Any ideas on how best to do this as simply as possible, w/o going through multiple "new" calls?
thanks in advance..

Keep in mind, you can pass a parameter such as String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER to the sorting algorithm since natural order for strings is often case insensitive.

For example, without passing this parameter 'Z' would be sorted before 'a'.
