How To Compare Two Strings If they are rearranged

Question

I wanted to know how can I compare two rearranged strings E.g if String a="string" ,String b="tsrngi" ... If I compare a.equals(b), It will return false because of order of characters... I want it to return true because characters are same but only order is different.. Thanks

Answer 1

Sort them, then compare. To sort, use something like:

char[] content = unsorted.toCharArray();
java.util.Arrays.sort(content);
String sorted = new String(content);
