Packages that use Ordering

com.google.common.collect

This package contains generic collection interfaces and implementations, and other utilities for working with collections.

Uses of Ordering in com.google.common.collect

Methods in com.google.common.collect that return Ordering

static Ordering<Object>	Ordering.allEqual() Returns an ordering which treats all values as equal, indicating "no ordering." Passing this ordering to any stable sort algorithm results in no change to the order of elements.
static Ordering<Object>	Ordering.arbitrary() Returns an arbitrary ordering over all objects, for which compare(a, b) == 0 implies a == b (identity equality).
<U extends T> Ordering<U>	Ordering.compound(Comparator<? super U> secondaryComparator) Returns an ordering which first uses the ordering this, but which in the event of a "tie", then delegates to secondaryComparator.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.compound(Iterable<? extends Comparator<? super T>> comparators) Returns an ordering which tries each given comparator in order until a non-zero result is found, returning that result, and returning zero only if all comparators return zero.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.explicit(List<T> valuesInOrder) Returns an ordering that compares objects according to the order in which they appear in the given list.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.explicit(T leastValue, T... remainingValuesInOrder) Returns an ordering that compares objects according to the order in which they are given to this method.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(Comparator<T> comparator) Returns an ordering based on an existing comparator instance.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(Ordering<T> ordering) Deprecated. no need to use this
<S extends T> Ordering<Iterable<S>>	Ordering.lexicographical() Returns a new ordering which sorts iterables by comparing corresponding elements pairwise until a nonzero result is found; imposes "dictionary order".
static <C extends Comparable> Ordering<C>	Ordering.natural() Returns a serializable ordering that uses the natural order of the values.
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.nullsFirst() Returns an ordering that treats null as less than all other values and uses this to compare non-null values.
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.nullsLast() Returns an ordering that treats null as greater than all other values and uses this ordering to compare non-null values.
<F> Ordering<F>	Ordering.onResultOf(Function<F,? extends T> function) Returns a new ordering on F which orders elements by first applying a function to them, then comparing those results using this.
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.reverse() Returns the reverse of this ordering; the Ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(Comparator).
static Ordering<Object>	Ordering.usingToString() Returns an ordering that compares objects by the natural ordering of their string representations as returned by toString().
