Sorting Issue Help Needed Badly

Question

*+{color:#000000}*Hello All,*+*
I am having a small piece of code in my project that retrieves file names from a directory applying filename filter. Well i am happening to get them fine in sorted order. But when i implement that program in other machine it happens that all the file names are in unsorted order. I applied several sorting techniques Collator, SortedSet etc. no luck+</stro
Any could help me on this. By the way my development machine has JDK 1.6 while implementing system has only JRE1.5 which comes embedded with jBase. Consider i have nothing to do with jBase thats another team's project.{color}+*
FilenameFilter fileNameFilter = new SEPITFilenameFilter(".JPG");
String slideURLs[] = slideBase.list(fileNameFilter);
slideURLs = Storage.sortStringsInAscending(slideURLs);
public static String[] sortStringsInAscending(String[] array)
Collator collator = Collator.getInstance();
CollationKey collationKey[] = new CollationKey[array.length];
for(int k=0; k<array.length; k++)
collationKey[k] = collator.getCollationKey(array[k].trim());
int i=0;
boolean swapped = true;
while(swapped)
swapped = false;
i++;
for(int j=0;j<(array.length-i);j++)
int comparator = collationKey[j].compareTo(collationKey[j+1]);
if(comparator > 0)
String tempString = array[j];
array[j] = array[j+1];
array[j+1] = tempString;
swapped = true;
return array;
}

Well, if you simply want to sort the file names themselves, build a List and then call Collections.sort(). String already has a comparator built-in that will sort them ascending for you.
If you want to customize things, write a Comparator. Then call Collections.sort().
