Using Comparable interface to sort JAVA

Question

Hi so for example i have :

string1[0] ="Banana";
string1[1] ="Apple";
string1[2] ="Pineapple";
string1[3] ="Mandarin";

I want to sort this alphabetically using comparable and compareTo() method. So the result would be:

String1[0]="Apple";
String1[1]="Banana";
String1[2]="Mandarin";
String1[3]="Pineapple";

Could you just show me the skeleton of the code to do it plz ?

And is there a better way to sort it ?

Arrays.sort(string1);

This will reorder the strings lexicographically.
