Sort linked lists in the order in which they appear in the array

Given an array of size N and a linked list, the elements in the linked list will come from that array, but can also be repeated, and the linked list will be sorted sequentially, and the elements will appear in the array. It can be assumed that the array covers all the elements of the linked list.

arr [] =

list=

Sort list=

First, create a hash table that stores the frequency of elements in a linked list. Then, simply iterate through the list and check the frequency of each element of arr[i] in the HAS table, and modify the data of the list for the frequency of the arr[i] element, and finally print the list.
