sortWith

Platform and version requirements: JS (1.0), Native (1.0)
fun <T> Array<out T>.sortWith(comparator: Comparator<in T>)

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.

Platform and version requirements: JS (1.0), Native (1.0)
fun <T> Array<out T>.sortWith(
    comparator: Comparator<in T>, 
    fromIndex: Int = 0, 
    toIndex: Int = size)

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.

Platform and version requirements: JS (1.0), Native (1.0)
fun <T> MutableList<T>.sortWith(comparator: Comparator<in T>)

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.

Platform and version requirements: JVM (1.0)
fun <T> Array<out T>.sortWith(comparator: Comparator<in T>)

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.
