Arrays.sort实现原理

Collections.sort方法底层就是调用的array.sort方法

比较器的方式

TimSort

static void sort(Object[] a, int lo, int hi, Object[] work, int workBase, int workLen) {
    assert a != null && lo >= 0 && lo <= hi && hi <= a.length;

    int nRemaining  = hi - lo;
    if (nRemaining < 2)
        return;  // Arrays of size 0 and 1 are always sorted

    // If array is small, do a "mini-TimSort" with no merges
    if (nRemaining < MIN_MERGE) {
        int initRunLen = countRunAndMakeAscending(a, lo, hi);
        binarySort(a, lo, hi, lo + initRunLen);
        return;
    }
    ComparableTimSort ts = new ComparableTimSort(a, work, workBase, workLen);
    int minRun = minRunLength(nRemaining);
    do {
        // Identify next run
        int runLen = countRunAndMakeAscending(a, lo, hi);

        // If run is short, extend to min(minRun, nRemaining)
        if (runLen < minRun) {
            int force = nRemaining <= minRun ? nRemaining : minRun;
            binarySort(a, lo, lo + force, lo + runLen);
            runLen = force;
        }

        // Push run onto pending-run stack, and maybe merge
        ts.pushRun(lo, runLen);
        ts.mergeCollapse();

        // Advance to find next run
        lo += runLen;
        nRemaining -= runLen;
    } while (nRemaining != 0);

    // Merge all remaining runs to complete sort
    assert lo == hi;
    ts.mergeForceCollapse();
    assert ts.stackSize == 1;
}

Collections.sort方法或者是Arrays.sort方法，底层实现都是TimSort实现的

TimSort算法就是找到已经排好序数据的子序列，然后对剩余部分排序，然后合并起来
