All I need to know is how to find the length of the string inside of the array. I also would like to know how to find which string comes first in alphabetical order in the array.

myArr[0].length()
This will access the string at location 0, then get the length of it.
Also, for sorting alphabetically, you can use
Arrays.sort(myArr);

You can simply use .length method on any string array element to get its length,
And to sort that array alphabetically you ca use .sort method -
For example -
String[] strings = { "Hello ", "This ", "is", "Sorting", "Example" };
Arrays.sort(strings);
So after sorting strings[0] would be Example and string[0].length() would be 7
