Question

I need help sorting a stack in DESCENDING ORDER so [44,32,21,11,0,-4,-5,-12,-24].

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Below is my failing code for [1,-1] where [-1,1] is being returned. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public Stack<Integer> solution(Stack<Integer> stack) {
if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
int top = stack.pop();
sort(stack);
sortUtil(stack, top);
}
return stack;
}

private static void sortUtil(Stack<Integer> stack, int data) {
if (stack.isEmpty() || stack.peek() < data) {
stack.push(data);
} else {
int top = stack.pop();
sortUtil(stack, data);
stack.push(top);
}
}
