I've played around with arrays and arrayLists. Sorting is a breeze with arrayLists but I can not say the same with arrays. You have to make a for loop and filter the results and it's a pain. As far as I can see arrayList are just a better version of arrays. So why use arrays? Is there something they can do better.
