Constructor Detail

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator()

Compares with Listitem.getValue().

It assumes the value returned by Listitem.getValue() implements Comparable.

Note: It assumes the ascending order and case-insensitive. If not, use ListitemComparator(int, boolean, boolean) instead.

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(int index)

Compares with the column of the specified index.

0 for the first column, 1 for the second and so on

Note: -1 for Listitem.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

Note: It assumes the ascending order, case-insensitive and comparing the returned values of LabelElement.getLabel(). If not, use ListitemComparator(int, boolean, boolean, boolean) instead.

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

index - which column to compare. If -1, Listitem.getValue() is used.

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(int index,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase)

Compares with the column of the specified index.

0 for the first column, 1 for the second and so on

Note: -1 for Listitem.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

Note: it compares the returned value of LabelElement.getLabel(). If you want to compare Listcell.getValue()., use ListitemComparator(int, boolean, boolean, boolean) instead.

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

index - which column to compare. If -1, Listitem.getValue() is used.

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(int index,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase,
                  boolean byValue)

Compares with the column of the specified index.

0 for the first column, 1 for the second and so on

Note: -1 for Listitem.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

index - which column to compare. If -1, Listitem.getValue() is used.

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

byValue - whether to compare Listcell.getValue(). If false, it compares LabelElement.getLabel(). If true, it assumes the value returned by Listcell.getValue() implements Comparable. It is ignored if the index is -1.

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(int index,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase,
                  boolean byValue,
                  boolean nullAsMax)

Compares with the column of the specified index.

0 for the first column, 1 for the second and so on

Note: -1 for Listitem.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

Parameters:

index - which column to compare. If -1, Listitem.getValue() is used.

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

byValue - whether to compare Listcell.getValue(). If false, it compares LabelElement.getLabel(). If true, it assumes the value returned by Listcell.getValue() implements Comparable. It is ignored if the index is -1.

nullAsMax - whether to consider null as the maximum value. If false, null is considered as the minimum value.

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(Listheader header,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase)

Compares with the column which the list header is at.

Note: it compares the returned value of LabelElement.getLabel(). If you want to compare Listcell.getValue()., use ListitemComparator(Listheader, boolean, boolean, boolean) instead.

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(Listheader header,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase,
                  boolean byValue)

Compares with the column which the list header is at.

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

byValue - whether to compare Listcell.getValue(). If false, it compares LabelElement.getLabel().

ListitemComparator

public ListitemComparator(Listheader header,
                  boolean ascending,
                  boolean ignoreCase,
                  boolean byValue,
                  boolean nullAsMax)

Compares with the column which the list header is at.

Parameters:

ascending - whether to sort as ascending (or descending).

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

byValue - whether to compare Listcell.getValue(). If false, it compares LabelElement.getLabel().

nullAsMax - whether to consider null as the maximum value. If false, null is considered as the minimum value.
