How to sort taxonomy with Java api? Please Help

Question

Can someone please help me out?  I understand and can display the contents of a taxonomy. But I need it to be displayed in alphabetical order.  Manual ordering does not exist for taxonomies.  How do you sort a taxonomy in java?
The following snip of code can get the taxonomy and loop through it but isn't ordered correctly.  Can some kind of comparator be used somehow?  Points will be rewarded!  Please help.
//Get connection to KMCM path
RID rid = RID.getRID(strPathToKMCM);
IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, context);
ICollection collection = (ICollection) resource;
IResourceList children = collection.getChildren();
for (int i = 0; i < children.size(); i++){
     IResource ir = children.get(i);

I'd also be interested to know how to do this.
I found this code section to sort by date, but couldn't change it to get it to work to sort alphabetically.
private void sortResouceListByDate(IResourceList resourceList) throws Exception {
// create property names to index properties
IPropertyName iPropSort = new PropertyName("http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm", "modified");
//create a comparator to order the resource list
ResourcePropertyComparator rRPC = new ResourcePropertyComparator(iPropSort, false);
//order the resource list
resourceList.sort(rRPC);
