That is the same as the blog's solution 3, except you do not declare an 
additional local variable for the comparator. So, the answer is yes, or 
were you trying to make another point?

However, I find the following solution much better.

Solution 5:

	students.sort(comparing(Student::getRollNumber));

The method comparing() is a new static method in interface Comparator.
The method sort() is a new default method in the List interface.
Student::getRollNumber is a method reference, it provides convenient 
shorthand for the corresponding lambda s -> s.getRollNumber()

This coding, apart from being both shorter and more readable than 
solutions 3 or 4, isolates the sort key in the call to comparing, rather 
than extracting it in the comparison code itself.
