The following code shows how to use SortedSet.

import java.util.SortedSet;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Create a sorted set of some names
    SortedSet<String> sortedNames = new TreeSet<>();
    sortedNames.add("XML");
    sortedNames.add("Oracle");
    sortedNames.add("Eve");
    sortedNames.add("Json");

    // Print the sorted set of names
    System.out.println(sortedNames);
  }/*  w w w . ja v a  2 s  .  c om*/
