Solution: Custom Sort String

Explore how to solve the custom sort string problem by applying hash maps to count character frequencies in the input string, and reorder characters according to a given custom order. Understand the algorithm's time and space complexities, and learn to implement a solution that respects the relative order of characters efficiently.

Statement

Given two strings, order and s, where all characters in order are unique and arranged in a custom order, return any permutation of s that satisfies the following condition:

The characters in the permuted s should appear in the same relative order as they do in order. Specifically, if a character x appears before a character y in order, then x must also appear before y in the permuted string.
