Ok this one has me pretty stumped for something that should seem very simple.

SO i have an object[] that i need to sort by in alabetical order by the String returned by object.getName(). I suspose this can be done some how by using Arrays.sort(object[], Comparator c) but i have no idea how i would go about that.

I the only reason i really want the array sorted it just so i can save processing power by using a binary search later on rather then brute forcing the hell out of the array.
