Or you could use addAll and Collections.nCopies to implement setSize, 
and use ListIterator to do reverse iteration.

Notice that ArrayList does not sport a sort method--it's on 
Collections.sort. Just because the method is not on the list itself does 
not mean it's not implemented. Implementing it on the class implies that 
anyone who implements the same interface has to reimplement it or 
forward it to the same implementation all over again.
