  atg.repository.RepositorySorter

public class RepositorySorter
extends java.lang.Object

A RepositorySorter performs sorting on an array of RepositoryItem objects, returned as a result of a targeting operation. Sorting is done using the QuickSort algorithm. The passed in SortDirectives object determines how pairs of elements are ordered during sorting.

sort

public static RepositoryItem[] sort(RepositoryItem[] pItems,
                                    SortDirectives pSortDirectives)

Sorts the specified array of RepositoryItem objects according to sorting directives specified by pSortDirectives. Returns the sorted array; the original array may also be modified.

compare

public static int compare(java.lang.Object pObject1,
                          java.lang.Object pObject2,
                          int pDirection,
                          boolean pCaseSensitive)

Compares two object values. Returns an integer that is < 0 if pObject1 should come before pObject2, > 0 if pObject should come after pObject2, or 0 if the order is indeterminate (i.e., either the two objects are equal, or they are not comparable).

This method knows how to compare objects of the following types: Number, String, Character (using numeric values of the chars), Date, File (using canonical path of the files), and URL (using string representation of the URLs).

Parameters:

pDirection - direction in which the objects should be ordered: one of SortDirective.DIR_ASCENDING or SortDirective.DIR_DESCENDING

pCaseSensitive - true if compare should be case sensitive
