Re: verbose sort

I have some code that sorts a list like so:

Vector<String> my_list = new Vector<String>();

              Comparator<String> c = new Comparator<String>() {
                      @Override

                              if (object1 == null)
                                      return -1;

                              if (object2 == null)
                                      return 1;

                              object1 = object1.toLowerCase();
                              object2 = object2.toLowerCase();

                              return object1.compareTo(object2);
                      };
              };

Collections.sort(my_list, c);

This seems like a lot of code for such a common operation. Is there a more
