Meta Follow-up for Custom Sort String (LC791)

Round 1

Questions: Hey y’all! I got another solution for Leetcode 791 Custom Sort String as well as a variant and a follow-up question.

From what I’ve seen, Meta almost asks the original Leetcode problem. For the variant, they sometimes just give you a List instead of a string for the order parameter. So…nothing really changes in the code.

If you manage to solve the problem and have time leftover (which, great signal), there is a follow-up question: what if you had to optimize your solution from a HashMap<Character, Integer> to a List<Integer>?
