Here are three techniques to see if Java has some built-in capability.

You need an indexing tool like Copernic to find plausible method names
in the JavaDoc that you can download and insert in the JDK.

Alternatively you can use a tool like Funduc Search and replace or
Extract http://mindprod/products1.html#EXTRACT to linearly search for
regular expressions.

The other technique is to Google something like [sort Java array] and
see what code pops up. Look for the relevant classes and consult the
Javadoc.
