Given the head of a linked list, return the list after sorting it in ascending order.
Follow up: Can you sort the linked list in O(n logn) time and O(1) memory (i.e. constant space)?
Example 1:
Input: head = [4,2,1,3]
Output: [1,2,3,4]
Example 2:
Input: head = [-1,5,3,4,0]
Output: [-1,0,3,4,5]
Example 3:
Input: head = []
Output: []
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0, 5 * 104].
- -105 <= Node.val <= 105
