Is there any short way to sort a string array by Kurdish characters? I've looked at some source on internet but I couldn't find any solution. There is a way to sort. Writing a code alike a novel but it is a very long work.
kurdish characters: a,b,c,ç,d,e,ê,f,g,h,i,î,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,ş,t,û,u,v,w,x,y,z

To sort an array of strings in Java, we can use Arrays. sort() function.
sort(char[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex) method sorts the specified range of the specified array of chars into ascending numerical order. The range to be sorted extends from index fromIndex, inclusive, to index toIndex, exclusive.
There are two ways to sort a string array in Java: Using User-Defined Logic. Using the Arrays. sort() Methodm.
Using the toCharArray() method Get the required string. Convert the given string to a character array using the toCharArray() method. Sort the obtained array using the sort() method of the Arrays class. Convert the sorted array to String by passing it to the constructor of the String array.
The Collator class should come in-handy here. To quote from the doc,
The Collator class performs locale-sensitive String comparison. You use this class to build searching and sorting routines for natural language text.
So try something like this:
Collator unicodeCollator = Collator.getInstance(Locale.UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION);
Collections.sort(yourListOfCharacters, unicodeCollator);
Note that we are able to call java.util.Collections.sort directly as above, because Collator implements the Comparator interface.
If for whatever reasons Locale.UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION doesn't work, here's the full list of supported locales. And you can create your own locale using the Locale constructor.
