Java sort List by date as String

Question

I have a list from the Type and I would like to sort this list by an element of date. I googled and I saw some solutions with comparable, but is there a possibility to do this

Answer 1

Collections.sort(Type, new Comparator() {
    @Override
    public int compare(Type o1, Type o2) {
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd h:m");
          Date d1 = sdf.parse(o1.date);
          Date d2 = sdf.parse(o2.date);
          return d1.compareTo(d2);
      }
  });
