Solution: Custom Sort String
Understand how to solve the Custom Sort String challenge by using hash maps to count character occurrences and reorder a string according to a custom order. This lesson teaches you to implement an optimal solution with O(n) time complexity and explains the algorithm's approach and tradeoffs.

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.
