Java – Sort one array based on values of another array?

by

In java 8, you can do this

with a lambda:

    String[] strings = new String[]{"string1", "string2", "string3"};
    final int[] ints = new int[]{40, 32, 34};

    final List<String> stringListCopy = Arrays.asList(strings);
    ArrayList<String> sortedList = new ArrayList(stringListCopy);
    Collections.sort(sortedList, (left, right) -> ints[stringListCopy.indexOf(left)] - ints[stringListCopy.indexOf(right)]);

Or better, with Comparator:

    String[] strings = new String[]{"string1", "string2", "string3"};
    final int[] ints = new int[]{40, 32, 34};

    final List<String> stringListCopy = Arrays.asList(strings);
    ArrayList<String> sortedList = new ArrayList(stringListCopy);
    Collections.sort(sortedList, Comparator.comparing(s -> ints[stringListCopy.indexOf(s)]));
