Constructor Detail

RowComparator

public RowComparator()

Compares with Label.getValue().

It assumes the value returned by the label indexing in AbstractComponent.getChildren().

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

RowComparator

public RowComparator(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 Row.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

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

A null value is considered as the minimum value.

Parameters:

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

RowComparator

public RowComparator(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 Row.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, Label.getValue() is used.

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

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

RowComparator

public RowComparator(int index,
                     boolean ascending,
                     boolean ignoreCase,
                     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 Row.getValue() and it assumes the value implements Comparable.

Parameters:

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

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

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

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

RowComparator

public RowComparator(Column header,
                     boolean ascending,
                     boolean ignoreCase,
                     boolean nullAsMax)

Compares with the column.

Parameters:

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

ignoreCase - whether to sort case-insensitive

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