cannot find symbol method sort(int[],java.util.Comparator<java.lang.Object>)

why do i get this error?..

Like it says, there is no sort method in the Arrays class that takes an int[] and a Comparator as parameters. Why did you think that there was such a method?

Beacuse that method signature does not exist. Check the API.

You could use an Integer[] array and it would work.

Edit: Bizarre crosspost with James. Thread had no reply when I posted.
