Flexibly sorting primitive arrays

[steve souza]

Is there a way to sort an int[] in an order other than ascending or descending. For example if the array had values 1-9, maybe soring in even/odd order (2,4,6,8,1,3,5,7,9). With Object[] you could do this with a Comparator. Can it be done with primitives without first converting the primitive array to an object array?

Have you tried it with a Comparator? I think autoboxing might help you out here. If that doesn't work you're stuck rolling your own.
