A simple Java class that provides natural sorting for strings.

Step 1 Add the GitHub Maven repository to your build file

<repositories>	<repository>	<id>github</id>	<url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/jagobagascon</url>	<snapshots>	<enabled>true</enabled>	</snapshots>	</repository> </repositories>

Step 2 Add the dependency

<dependency> <groupId>com.github.jagobagascon</groupId> <artifactId>Natural-Sorting-for-Java</artifactId> <version>1.2.0</version> </dependency>

Step 3 Use the provided comparators to sort your lists

// If < JDK 8 use: Collections.sort public void sortNatural(List<String> myList) { myList.sort(NaturalSort.naturalSortComparator); } public void sortNaturalIgnoreCase(List<String> myList) { myList.sort(NaturalSort.naturalSortIgnoreCaseComparator); }

The library recognizes non-ASCII decimal digits when comparing numbers (for example, Thai digits or full-width digits). Numbers consisting of mixed digit sets or languages are compared as a whole. See this discussion for more info.
