Check order of two strings ignoring case

       

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    String s1 = "s1", s3 = "s3";
    int i = s1.compareToIgnoreCase(s3); // -1
    if (i < 0) {
      System.out.println("s1 precedes s3"); 
    } else if (i > 0) {
      System.out.println("s1 follows s3"); 
    } else {
      System.out.println("s1 equals s3"); 
    }

  }
