edu.nrao.sss.model.source.sort
Class SourceNameSortKey

java.lang.Object
  edu.nrao.sss.sort.SortKey<String>
      edu.nrao.sss.sort.StringSortKey
          edu.nrao.sss.model.source.sort.SourceNameSortKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

Orderable, Comparator<SourceCatalogEntry>

public class SourceNameSortKey
extends StringSortKey
implements Comparator<SourceCatalogEntry>

Sorts sources based on their names.

Because this class is a SortKey, you may configure its instances with a particular SortOrder. Because it is a StringSortKey, you may tell it to ignore differences in case. Finally, because it is a Comparator, you may use it for sorting collections on its own, or place it in a CompoundComparator to use as one of many keys in a single sort.

The default values for this key's attributes are:

• Sort order: natural
• Ignore case: true
