New to comparators

[scarlet jasper]

Good evening folks!
I'm quite new to java and right now I need a comparator for my code (Comparator<String>).
I want to create a comparator that compares two strings. It want it to work like that:

• if the string is "test", "test" must be first
• sort by alphabetical order after

I think I worked it out:

return new Comparator<Category>() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Category o1, Category o2) {
                if (o1.getName().equals("General")) return 0;
                if (o2.getName().equals("General")) return 1;
                else {
                    return String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER.compare(o1.getName(), o2.getName());
                }
                
            }
        };
