java Arrays.sort 2d array

Solution 1:

Use Overloaded Arrays#Sort(T[] a, Comparator c) which takes Comparator as the second argument.

double[][] array= {
{1, 5},
{13, 1.55},
{12, 100.6},
{12.1, .85} };

java.util.Arrays.sort(array, new java.util.Comparator<double[]>() {
    public int compare(double[] a, double[] b) {
        return Double.compare(a[0], b[0]);
    }
});

JAVA-8: Instead of that big comparator, we can use lambda function as following-

Arrays.sort(array, Comparator.comparingDouble(o -> o[0]));

Solution 2:

Welcome Java 8:

Arrays.sort(myArr, (a, b) -> Double.compare(a[0], b[0]));

Solution 3:

The simplest way:

Arrays.sort(myArr, (a, b) -> a[0] - b[0]);
