Uses of Ordering in com.google.common.collect

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

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Ordering<@Nullable 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<@Nullable Object>	Ordering.arbitrary()	Returns an arbitrary ordering over all objects, for which compare(a, b) == 0 implies a == b (identity equality).
static <T extends @Nullable Object> 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.
<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.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 extends @Nullable Object> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(Ordering<T> ordering)	Deprecated. no need to use this
static <T extends @Nullable Object> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(Comparator<T> comparator)	Returns an ordering based on an existing comparator instance.
<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<@Nullable 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<@Nullable 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 extends @Nullable Object> 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().
