I have customized string array for an example:

String[] myArr = {"Zen", "Maruthi","Swift", "Audi"};

I have a tool which will generate array like

String[] output = getCars();//returns {"Swift", "Audi", "Zen", "Maruthi"}

// it should return same as myArr...means {"Zen", "Maruthi","Swift", "Audi"}

I want to sort output arrays to myArr; i am sorting using for loop with comparison of myArr;

So is there any other method to sort customised array?plz help me

Edit:

No need to sort here. Just add similar string into the list as per element(s) sequence in myArr array.

List<String> items=new ArrayList<String>();
for(String item:myArr)
 {
  for(String outputItem:output)
   {
     if(item.equals(outputItem))
        items.add(outputItem);
     }                    
   } 
 for(String s:items)
     System.out.println(s);
