Java Sorting based on Enum constants

by

Enum<E> implements Comparable<E> via the natural order of the enum (the order in which the values are declared). If you just create a list of the enum values (instead of strings) via parsing, then sort that list using Collections.sort, it should sort the way you want. If you need a list of strings again, you can just convert back by calling name() on each element.
