Constructor

	Ordering() Constructs a new instance of this class (only invokable by the subclass constructor, typically implicit).

Method

Ordering	allEqual() Returns an ordering which treats all values as equal, indicating "no ordering."
Ordering	arbitrary() Returns an arbitrary ordering over all objects, for which compare(a, b) == 0 implies a == b (identity equality).
int	binarySearch(List sortedList, @Nullable T key) Collections#binarySearch(List,Object,Comparator) Searches sortedList for key using the binary search algorithm.
int	compare(@Nullable T left, @Nullable T right)
Ordering	compound(Comparator secondaryComparator) Returns an ordering which first uses the ordering this , but which in the event of a "tie", then delegates to secondaryComparator .
Ordering	compound(Iterable> 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.
Ordering	explicit(List valuesInOrder) Returns an ordering that compares objects according to the order in which they appear in the given list.
Ordering	from(Comparator comparator) Returns an ordering based on an existing comparator instance.
Ordering	from(Ordering ordering) Simply returns its argument.
List	greatestOf(Iterable iterable, int k) Returns the k greatest elements of the given iterable according to this ordering, in order from greatest to least.
List	greatestOf(Iterator iterator, int k) Returns the k greatest elements from the given iterator according to this ordering, in order from greatest to least.
ImmutableList	immutableSortedCopy(Iterable elements) Returns an immutable list containing elements sorted by this ordering.
boolean	isOrdered(Iterable iterable) Returns true if each element in iterable after the first is greater than or equal to the element that preceded it, according to this ordering.
List	leastOf(Iterable iterable, int k) Returns the k least elements of the given iterable according to this ordering, in order from least to greatest.
List	leastOf(Iterator elements, int k) Returns the k least elements from the given iterator according to this ordering, in order from least to greatest.
E	max(Iterator iterator) Returns the greatest of the specified values according to this ordering.
E	max(Iterable iterable) Returns the greatest of the specified values according to this ordering.
E	max(@Nullable E a, @Nullable E b) Returns the greater of the two values according to this ordering.
E	min(Iterator iterator) Returns the least of the specified values according to this ordering.
E	min(Iterable iterable) Returns the least of the specified values according to this ordering.
E	min(@Nullable E a, @Nullable E b) Returns the lesser of the two values according to this ordering.
Ordering	natural() Returns a serializable ordering that uses the natural order of the values.
Ordering	nullsFirst() Returns an ordering that treats null as less than all other values and uses this to compare non-null values.
Ordering	nullsLast() Returns an ordering that treats null as greater than all other values and uses this ordering to compare non-null values.
Ordering	onResultOf(Function function) Returns a new ordering on F which orders elements by first applying a function to them, then comparing those results using this .
Ordering	reverse() Returns the reverse of this ordering; the Ordering equivalent to Collections#reverseOrder(Comparator) .
List	sortedCopy(Iterable elements) Returns a mutable list containing elements sorted by this ordering; use this only when the resulting list may need further modification, or may contain null .
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
Ordering	usingToString() Returns an ordering that compares objects by the natural ordering of their string representations as returned by toString() .
