binary-trees

I'm being asked to display a binary search tree in sorted order. The nodes of the tree contain strings.

I'm not exactly sure what the best way is to attack this problem. Should I be traversing the tree and displaying as I go? Should I flatten the tree into an array and then use a sorting algorithm before I display?

I'm not looking for the actual code, just a guide where to go next.
