I have two classes: Movie2 and TestMovie2.

Movie2 is as follows:

public class Movie2
{
    private String title;
    private int year;
    private String studio;

    Movie2(String title, int year, String studio)
    {
        this.title = title;
        this.year = year;
        this.studio = studio;
    }

    public String getTitle()
    {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title)
    {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public int getYear()
    {
        return year;
    }

    public void setYear(int year)
    {
        this.year = year;
    }

    public String getStudio()
    {
        return studio;
    }

    public void setStudio(String studio)
    {
        this.studio = studio;
    }
}

TestMovie2 is as follows:

public class TestMovie2
{
    private static Movie2[] myMovies = new Movie2[10];

    private static void addMovies()
    {
        myMovies[0] = new Movie2("The Muppets Take Manhattan", 2001, "Columbia Tristar");
        myMovies[1] = new Movie2("Mulan Special Edition", 2004, "Disney");
        myMovies[2] = new Movie2("Shrek 2", 2004, "Dreamworks");
        myMovies[3] = new Movie2("The Incredibles", 2004, "Pixar");
        myMovies[4] = new Movie2("Nanny McPhee", 2006, "Universal");
        myMovies[5] = new Movie2("The Curse of the Were-Rabbit", 2006, "Aardman");
        myMovies[6] = new Movie2("Ice Age", 2002, "20th Century Fox");
        myMovies[7] = new Movie2("Lilo & Stitch", 2002, "Disney");
        myMovies[8] = new Movie2("Robots", 2005, "20th Century Fox");
        myMovies[9] = new Movie2("Monsters", 2001, "Pixar");
    }

    private static void printMovies()
    {
        for (Movie2 i : myMovies)
        {
            System.out.printf("\n%-30s%10s%30s", i.getTitle(), i.getYear(), i.getStudio());
        }
    }

    private static void sortTitles()
    {

        for (Movie2 i : myMovies)
        {
        }
    }

    public static void main (String args[])
    {
        addMovies();
        printMovies();
        sortTitles();
    }
}

Within sortTitles(), I'm trying to create an algorithm that will sort the objects (the movies) in a based on their titles. Unfortunately I can't use Arrays.sort(), or anything similar. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me an example of a String sorter, then explain how it works line-by-line so I can implement one in my project.

Edit: I can't use Arrays.sort() because it is against the instructions of the assignment.

I believe that the purpose of doing this project is to learn the sorting algorithm. I don't thinks it's a good idea to give you the code, which you won't learn much from it. Here is an easy sorting algorithm called insertion sort, example: http://www.java2novice.com/java-sorting-algorithms/insertion-sort/. You can use String.compareTo(anotherString) to sort your titles.

In addition, there are many other nice sorting algorithm you can use to improve performance, such as merge sort and quick sort. I can help you walk through the algorithm, but not giving you the code. Good luck. :)
