Check order of two strings

       

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    String s1 = "s1";
    String s2 = "s2";
    
    int i = s1.compareTo(s2); // 32; lowercase follows uppercase
    if (i < 0) {
      // s1 precedes s2
    } else if (i > 0) {
      // s1 follows s2
    } else {
      // s1 equals s2
    }

  }
}
