In my case I was just trying to ensure a list type for a java API, though
perhaps the clojure reflection layer would have converted a non list seq to
a list to match the call, I don't know.

My question would be: why do you specifically need a list? i.e., why isn't a
sequence good enough?

After nosing around all I've come up with via clojure mechanisms is to use
(apply list (sort ...)).
It seems to work well enough for lists of arbitrary size (subject to usual
memory/size limitations of large lists).
I also considered some native java abuse such as
java.util.Arrays.asList(Enumerati
Sort returns a seq, but not necessarily something for which list? is true.

Ah, scratch that, list* returns a seq as well.

I believe what he wants is a persistentlist. You could get one from (apply
list) or more succinctly/esoterically (list* ..)
Sort returns a seq view over the array returned by java.util.Array.sort()
(defn sort

Hi Dave
Sorry if I didn't get it, but doesn't sort already return a list?
Could explain?

I have a sequence from a call to 'sort'.
I want a list.
What is the best way to do this?
(apply list (sort ...))?
Will it have problems on large sequence inputs?
I can't use (into () (sort ...))
since that conjoins and ruins the sort order.
