Improve the performance of the Java program by adding threads to the Sort.java file. Implement the threadedSort() method within the Sort class. (Reuse any of the existing methods by calling them as necessary from your threadedSort method. You may add additional methods to the Sort class, if necessary.)Document your analysis as a short paper (1 page).Main File (sort.java):001import java.io.BufferedReader;002import java.io.File;003import java.io.FileReader;004import java.io.IOException;005import java.util.ArrayList;006import java.util.logging.Level;007import java.util.logging.Logger;008 009public class Sort {010 011  /**012   * You are to implement this method.
