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

Question

I have an array of Strings that are instances of a class from external code that I would rather not change.

I also have an array of ints that was generated by callin

Answer 1

Maybe not exactly for that case, but for those who looking for answer how to sort one array of String based on another:

// Array of values, in a order of sorting
static final Map ROUNDS_SORT = new HashMap();
static {
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("f", 0);
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("s", 1);
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("q", 2);
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("r16", 3);
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("r32", 4);
    ROUNDS_SORT.put("r64", 5);
}

// Your array to be sorted
static ArrayList rounds = new ArrayList() {{
    add("f");
    add("q");
    add("q");
    add("r16");
    add("f");
}};

// implement
public List getRoundsSorted() {
    Collections.sort(rounds, new Comparator() {
        @Override
        public int compare(String p1, String p2) {
            return Integer.valueOf(ROUNDS_SORT.get(p1)).compareTo(Integer.valueOf(ROUNDS_SORT.get(p2)));
        }
    });
    return rounds;
}
