How can I format a String to a time in java?

Question

I have a couple of Strings which are times:

fe: value could be:

"10:22:27.5528485+05:30"
"11:22:27.552"
"14:22:27"

I want to sort these Strings from oldest to latest... Anyone has an idea?

Thanks

Parse them into timestamps and sort them in natural order. – aioobe May 11 '15 at 07:12 — aioobe, May 11 '15 at 07:12

As per this previous SO question, you will have to change those strings into their equivalent date time components and them sort them as dates.
