/**
 * A comparator, with additional methods to support common operations. This is an "enriched" version
 * of {@code Comparator} for pre-Java-8 users, in the same sense that {@link FluentIterable} is an
 * enriched {@link Iterable} for pre-Java-8 users.
 *
 * 

Three types of methods

* * Like other fluent types, there are three types of methods present: methods for acquiring, * chaining, and using. * *

Acquiring

* *

The common ways to get an instance of {@code Ordering} are: * *

    *
  • Subclass it and implement {@link #compare} instead of implementing {@link Comparator} * directly *
  • Pass a pre-existing {@link Comparator} instance to {@link #from(Comparator)} *
  • Use the natural ordering, {@link Ordering#natural} *
* *

Chaining

* *

Then you can use the chaining methods to get an altered version of that {@code * Ordering}, including: * *

    *
  • {@link #reverse} *
  • {@link #compound(Comparator)} *
  • {@link #onResultOf(Function)} *
  • {@link #nullsFirst} / {@link #nullsLast} *
* *

Using

* *

Finally, use the resulting {@code Ordering} anywhere a {@link Comparator} is required, or use * any of its special operations, such as: * *

    *
  • {@link #immutableSortedCopy} *
  • {@link #isOrdered} / {@link #isStrictlyOrdered} *
  • {@link #min} / {@link #max} *
* *

Understanding complex orderings

* *

Complex chained orderings like the following example can be challenging to understand. * *

{@code
 * Ordering ordering =
 *     Ordering.natural()
 *         .nullsFirst()
 *         .onResultOf(getBarFunction)
 *         .nullsLast();
 * }
* * Note that each chaining method returns a new ordering instance which is backed by the previous * instance, but has the chance to act on values before handing off to that backing instance. * As a result, it usually helps to read chained ordering expressions backwards. For example, * when {@code compare} is called on the above ordering: * *
    *
  1. First, if only one {@code Foo} is null, that null value is treated as greater *
  2. Next, non-null {@code Foo} values are passed to {@code getBarFunction} (we will be comparing * {@code Bar} values from now on) *
  3. Next, if only one {@code Bar} is null, that null value is treated as lesser *
  4. Finally, natural ordering is used (i.e. the result of {@code Bar.compareTo(Bar)} is returned) *
* *

Alas, {@link #reverse} is a little different. As you read backwards through a chain and * encounter a call to {@code reverse}, continue working backwards until a result is determined, and * then reverse that result. * *

Additional notes

* *

Except as noted, the orderings returned by the factory methods of this class are serializable * if and only if the provided instances that back them are. For example, if {@code ordering} and * {@code function} can themselves be serialized, then {@code ordering.onResultOf(function)} can as * well. * *

For Java 8 users

* *

If you are using Java 8, this class is now obsolete (pending a few August 2016 * updates). Most of its functionality is now provided by {@link Stream} and by {@link * Comparator} itself, and the rest can now be found as static methods in our new {@link * Comparators} class. See each method below for further instructions. Whenever possible, you should * change any references of type {@code Ordering} to be of type {@code Comparator} instead. However, * at this time we have no plan to deprecate this class. * *

Many replacements involve adopting {@code Stream}, and these changes can sometimes make your * code verbose. Whenever following this advice, you should check whether {@code Stream} could be * adopted more comprehensively in your code; the end result may be quite a bit simpler. * *
