Sort a primitive array with a custom comparator on Clojure

I would like to sort a primitive Java array using a custom Comparator, but I get a type error. I think the function comparatorcreates Comparator<java.lang.Object>, not Comparator<Long>, but I can't figure out how to get around this.

Here is a minimal example:

x.core=> (def x (double-array [4 3 5 6 7]))
#'x.core/x
x.core=> (java.util.Arrays/sort x (comparator #(> %1 %2)))

ClassCastException [D cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Object;  x.core/eval1524 (form-init5588058267991397340.clj:1)

I tried to add different types of hints to the comparator function, but frankly, I am relatively new to this language and basically just threw darts.

I intentionally simplified the above example to focus on the key question, which is a type error. In the following sections I will try to give more detailed information in order to motivate the question and demonstrate why I use a custom Comparator.

Motivation

, , R order, :

> x = c(7, 2, 5, 3, 1, 4, 6)
> order(x)
[1] 5 2 4 6 3 7 1
> x[order(x)]
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

, , .

Clojure:

(defn order
  "Permutation of indices sorted by x"
  [x]
  (let [v (vec x)]
    (sort-by #(v %) (range (count v)))))

x.core=> (order [7 2 5 3 1 4 6])
(4 1 3 5 2 6 0)

( , R 1, Clojure 0). , ( , x [0, 1, ..., (count x)] x.
