At this point, there's nothing about the sorting class, SortUtil, that has anything to do with the address book. We've designed the class to be generic and provide functionality to sort any list. That's good practice in general, but it makes additional sense when breaking it out as a separate module. What we will do is move the code related to sorting into a brand new module, called packt.sortutil. Here are the steps at a high level:

  1. Create a new module called packt.sortutil.
  2. Move the code related to sorting into this newly created module.
