OK! I get it now. In that case what we can do is instead of sorting the result, what we can do is simply while performing a linear search for the words (that are similar to the given word in pronunciation) we can add the matching results into, say a list. And while inserting into that list we can ensure that it's sorted. That way the complexity will be lesser.
