How shoud I sort a phrase using compareTo in Java

Question

Hello I need to make a program that splits a phrase and afther that it sort it in alphabetical order. My teacher suggest that we shoud use StringTokenizer for the split and comapreTo for the sort.

So far I have splited it and now I am struggling with the sorting part.

public static void main(String[] args)  {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer("Afara este soare si frumos");
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            System.out.println(st.nextToken());
        }

It results: "1Afara 2este 3soare 4si 5frumos"

and afther the sorting part shoud be: "1Afara 2este 3frumos 4si 5soara"

Any advice woud be good! Thanks in advance!

Try this:

  String mystring = "Afara este soare si frumos";
  String[] sortedArray = mystring.split("\\s");
  Arrays.sort(sortedArray);
  System.out.println(Arrays.toString(sortedArray));
