JBuilder comes with a sample "sort" program that provides 3 different kinds
of sorts, and demonstrates them doing their job graphically.  So if you load
all the lines of the file into memory that will work.

Or you could use JPython, and in 3 lines of code you could:  open the file,
read all the lines of code into a list, and sort the entire list.  One more
line of code would then let you print the entire list.  And JPython is 100%
Pure Python and is embeddable in Java programs so who would know?

You can grab JPython from www.jpython.org

As far as searching goes, check out the methods provided in the java String
class if you are searching within each line.  Or if searching for a
particular line consider checking it on read, or after the fact by storing
it in a Hashtable in Java or dictionary in JPython and then doing a lookup.
