To sort a list in Java, you can use the Collections.sort() method. First, import the Collections class. Then, simply call the sort() method on your list, passing in the list you want to sort as an argument. This method will sort the list in ascending order by default. If you want to sort the list in descending order, you can use the Collections.reverse() method after sorting the list. Alternatively, you can use the Comparator interface to define a custom way of sorting the list.
