By "Java built in sort method", I assume you are referring to Arrays.sort() in the java.util package. Arrays.sort() is overloaded to handle all primitive and Object types except boolean.
If it is already sorted, the best is to leave the array as it is.If it is already sorted, the best is to leave the array as it is.If it is already sorted, the best is to leave the array as it is.If it is already sorted, the best is to leave the array as it is.
Yes you can store non primitive data type variables in an array. String is a non primitive data type. You can declare a string array as: String a[]=new String[10];
Using sorted(array,reverse=True)
An array is a primitive data type. It is the element type that may or may not be primitive.
Only if the non-primitive data types are actually controls, such as an array of label controls, or an array of edit boxes. However, a control array is still an array. The only difference is that the values will likely be resource handles (objects that refer or point to the actual object which will be stored elsewhere in memory) rather than an actual value itself. That is, an array of primitive data types stores the actual value in the array itself.

The built in array sorting algorithm (java.util.Arrays.sort) depends on the type of data being sorted. Primitive types are sorted with a modified implementation of quicksort. Objects are sorted with a modified implementation of mergesort.
Yes, an array that is in sorted order is considered a min-heap because the smallest item in the array is the root. Also, the rest of the items in the array will gradually get bigger from the root until the end of the array.

Using sorted(array,reverse=True)
An ordered array is simply an array where all elements are in sorted order: int a[] = {3, 6, 9, 10, 15, 21}; // ordered array An array can either be initialised with ordered elements or the elements may be sorted after initialisation. When inserting new elements into an ordered array, the order must be maintained.

Struct or array.

No, it can be array, structure or union as well.
No, it's not. But it can be based on primitive data types (int, char, long, double and so on).
Depends on the context of the question you were asking from, there are 2 distinct answers: Yes and NO. In the narrowest definition, any array is NOT a primitive data type in C#. Hence a string array is NOT a primitive data type in that context. A string itself, however, is a primitive data type. Some developers would like to extend the definition of "primitives" into the arrays, collections, and Enumeration. Thus, in this context, an array of string IS a primitive data type.
