Arrays sort misbehavior for Character array

String s5 = "peek";  int i[] = {12, 25, 7, 3, 45};  Arrays.sort(i);    for(int x : i) {    System.out.print(x + ",");  }    Arrays.sort(s5.toCharArray());    System.out.println(s5); // expected here eekp, but showing peek    for(char c : s5.toCharArray()) {    System.out.print(c + ",");  //expected here e,e,k,p , but showing p,e,e,k  }  

Output:

3,7,12,25,45,peek  p,e,e,k,  

for the line System.out.println(s5) I expected "eekp" but it's showing "peek".

for the line System.out.print(c + ",") I expected "e,e,k,p" but it's showing "p,e,e,k"

Arrays sort seems to work well for integers but not for character array, seems like am doing something wrong. could you please tell me?
