scala - Sort a list given a list of indices -
say have 1 unordered list
val unsorted = list("third", "second", "fourth", "first") and have list has indices of above list in proper order
val ids = list(3, 1, 0, 2) how can sort unsorted using these indices result
list("first", "second", "third", "fourth") 
simply map ids onto unsorted list itself.
scala> val sorted = ids map unsorted.toindexedseq sorted: list[string] = list(first, second, third, fourth) converting unsorted indexedseq not necessary, @gzm0 points out below prevents operation being o(n^2).
