Java insertion sort with string array

In this tutorial, you will learn how to sort array of strings using string array with Insertion Sort. For this, we have created a method that accepts string array and size and returns the sorted array using inserting sort algorithm. In the main method, we have  invoked the method and pass array of strings to it.

Example:

public class SortStringArrayUsingInsertionSort{

public static void main(String[] args){
String[] arr ={"Atlanta","New York","Dallas","Omaha","San Francisco"};
int count = 0;
String sortedArray[] = sort_sub(arr, arr.length); 
for(int i=0;i<sortedArray.length;i++){
System.out.println(sortedArray[i]);
}
}

public static String[] sort_sub(String array[], int f){
String temp="";
for(int i=0;i<f;i++){
for(int j=i+1;j<f;j++){
if(array[i].compareToIgnoreCase(array[j])>0){
temp = array[i];
array[i]=array[j];
array[j]=temp;
}
}
}
return array;
}
}

Output:

Atlanta
Dallas
New York
Omaha
San Francisco
