    <p>OK, here is my problem. I need to take a array of Strings and sort it alphabetically and then print out the first String: For example, a string of "Georgia, Florida, Alabama", It should print out Alabama. The Strings are not submitted by the user, i have a file with a bunch of states that is inputed as an array.</p> <p>This is what I have:</p> <pre><code>import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class MinString { private static final int SIZE = 10; public static void main(String[] args) { String[] list = new String[SIZE]; int numItems; numItems = Initialize (list); System.out.println(numItems); } private static int Initialize (String[] list) { //post : List is initialized with all strings from file. String filename, stateInput; int i = 0, numItems = 0; try { System.out.print("Input File : "); Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in); filename = stdin.nextLine(); stdin = new Scanner(new File(filename)); while ((stdin.hasNext()) &amp;&amp; (i &lt; list.length)) { stateInput = stdin.nextLine(); System.out.println("S = " + stateInput); list[i] = stateInput; i++; } numItems = i; } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } return numItems; } // Method FindMin goes here private static String FindMin (String[] list, numItems); ????? </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>I'm not sure how to write this FindMin Method. I need to write FindMin so that it takes as input an array of size numItems of strings and returns to the calling function the minimum string. </p> <p>Any ideas?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
