fun <T> Array<out T>.sortWith(comparator: Comparator<in T>)
(Common source) (JS source) (Native source)

Sorts the array in-place according to the order specified by the given comparator.

The sort is stable. It means that equal elements preserve their order relative to each other after sorting.

fun <T> Array<out T>.sortWith(
    comparator: Comparator<in T>,
    fromIndex: Int = 0,

(Common source) (JS source) (Native source)

Sorts a range in the array in-place with the given comparator.

The sort is stable. It means that equal elements preserve their order relative to each other after sorting.

Parameters

fromIndex - the start of the range (inclusive) to sort, 0 by default.

toIndex - the end of the range (exclusive) to sort, size of this array by default.

Exceptions

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex is less than zero or toIndex is greater than the size of this array.

IllegalArgumentException - if fromIndex is greater than toIndex.

fun <T> MutableList<T>.sortWith(comparator: Comparator<in T>)
(Common source) (JS source) (Native source)

Sorts elements in the list in-place according to the order specified with comparator.

The sort is stable. It means that equal elements preserve their order relative to each other after sorting.
