public void sort(String[] nameArray)

Sorts the specified array into ascending order based on the PageNameComparator. The actual sort is done using Arrays.sort().

Parameters:

nameArray - the page names to be sorted

sortPages

public void sortPages(List<Object> pageList)

Sorts the specified list into ascending order based on the PageNameComparator. The actual sort is done using Collections.sort().

Parameters:

pageList - the pages to be sorted

sortPages

public void sortPages(Object[] pageArray)

Sorts the specified array into ascending order based on the PageNameComparator. The actual sort is done using Arrays.sort().
