Idiom #290 Sort sublist

Sort the part of the list items from index i (included) to index j (excluded), in place, using the comparator c.

Elements before i and after j must remain unchanged.

items[i:j] = sorted(items[i:j], key=c)
import functools
items[i:j] = sorted(items[i:j], key=functools.cmp_to_key(c))
items.setRange(i, j, items.sublist(i, j)..sort(c));
sub := items[i:j]
sort.Slice(sub, func(a, b int) bool {
	return c(sub[a], sub[b])
})
import "slices"
slices.SortFunc(items[i:j], c)
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
Comparator<T> c = new Comparator<T>()
{
	@Override
	public int compare(T o1, T o2)
	{
		if(o1 > o2) {
			return 1;
		} else if(o1 == o2) {
			return 0;
		} else {
			return -1;
		}
	}
};
Collections.sort(items.subList(i, j), c);
@items[$i..$j] = sort $c @items[$i..$j];
items[i..j] = items[i..j].sort_by{|el| c(el) }
items[i..j].sort_by(c);
