为什么我不能对这个ArrayList排序？

Question

我从课本上抄了一个例子，但它拒绝编译。我是不是在什么地方打错了？出于某种原因，在客户端代码中，collections.sort（words）不允许程序编译。任何帮助都很感激。代码复制自Stuart Reges和Marty Stepp的“构建Java程序”第二版。我正试图通过复制来理解它。

该程序应该将一个CalendarDate对象装入一个ArrayList中。通过实现CalendarDate的可比接口，我可以使用Collections.sort按ArrayList中的顺序对生日进行排序。但是，这不起作用的B/C集合。sort（dates）将不会运行。

import java.util.*;

// Short program that creates a list of birthdays of the
// first 5 U.S. Presidents and that puts them into sorted order.
// We can now use Collections.sort for ArrayList<CalendarDate> b/c CalendarDate implements the Comparable interface. 

public class CalendarDateTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ArrayList<CalendarDate> dates = new ArrayList<CalendarDate>(); // Creates a new ArrayList of 'CalendarDate' object type.

        // adds a new CalendarDate object with month = 2 and day = 22 into an element of ArrayList dates, and etc.
        dates.add(new CalendarDate(2, 22)); // Washington
        dates.add(new CalendarDate(10, 30)); //Adams
        dates.add(new CalendarDate(4, 13)); // Jefferson
        dates.add(new CalendarDate(3, 16)); // Madison
        dates.add(new CalendarDate(4, 28)); // Monroe

        System.out.println("birthdays = " + dates); // Before sorting
        Collections.sort(dates); // WHY WON'T THIS WORK?
        System.out.println("birthdays = " + dates); // After Sorting
    }

}

 public class CalendarDate implements Comparable<CalendarDate> { 
    private int month;
    private int day;

    // Constructor
    public CalendarDate(int month, int day) {
        this.month = month;
        this.day = day;
    }

    // Compares this calendar date to another date
    // Dates are compared by month and then by day
    public int compareTo(CalendarDate other) {
        if (month != other.month) { // If different months
            return month - other.month; //negative, positive, or zero
        } else { // If same months; compare days instead
            return day - other.day; // negative, positive, or zero
        }
    }

    // Accessor for month (b/c month is private)
    public int getMonth() {
        return this.month;
    }

    // Accessor for day (b/c day is private)
    public int getDay() {
        return this.day;
    }

    // A toString method
    public String toString() {
        return month + "/" + day;
    }
    }

 public interface Comparable<T> { // T is the generic type (a placeholder for when other classes implement this)
        public int compareTo(T other); // placeholder to be implemented; need more specific version into class implementing this.
    }

编译器错误：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
    Bound mismatch: The generic method sort(List<T>) of type Collections is not applicable for the arguments (ArrayList<CalendarDate>). The inferred type CalendarDate is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <T extends Comparable<? super T>>

不要定义自己的可比接口。您需要实现java.lang.carable。
