Question

is there a way to sort an array and store the result in a linked list with the original array positions referenced by the list?

so

0 bbb
1 aaa
2 ccc

would become a linked list

1 aaa
0 bbb
2 ccc

Thanks

Answer 1

MyClass[] array = new MyClass[n];
// fill the array
Arrays.sort(array);
List<MyClass> list = new LinkedList<Class>(Arrays.asList(array));
