To me it seems, that you made your own Implementation of a List, if it extends the Java-List, then you can simply use Collections.sort():

void java.util.Collections.sort(list [, comparator] )

With the comparator you can use an (anonymous) Comparator object to compare the two Strings.

there you can simply return stringLeft.compareTo(stringRight) (after checking StringLeft for null, that is)...

Cheers,
