Well java.lang.Math.max() (or min() depending on what you want) might do 
it and as for sorting ... java.utils.Collections.sort will sort anything 
that implements the java.util.Comparable interface. All the standard 
numerical classes implement Comparable by default so there is nothing to 
do really.
