How to compare two Array Lists in SoapUI using groovy script?

I have 2 lists, the first one I got from json response when collecting all the customer numbers, the second one from a database using a query that should give me the same customer numbers as the response to the rest request. 

listA = [0012345678, 0012123443, 0012321232, 0055544321]

listB = [0012123443, 0012321232, 0055544321, 0012345678]

 

I want to check if both of the lists contain the same items.

I don't care about the order, just if they have the exact same items.

I tried listA.contains(listB), listA.containsAll(listB), i tried sorting both the lists (listA.sort() and listB.sort()) and then used equals, I still get false. It doesn't even seem to really sort the values, I thought this would work considering they are numbers, or at least appear so.

There is no difference in number of white spaces between the numbers in both lists.

Any suggestions?

    This code will take out the common b/w two lists:-

     

    ArrayList<String> listOne = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList('0012345678', '0012123443', '0012321232', '65', '2324'));      
ArrayList<String> listTwo = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList('0012123443', '0012321232', '0055544321', '342', '3423'));
listOne.retainAll(listTwo);
log.info listOne
