ReverseOrder(IComparator)

Parameters
- cmp
- IComparator
a comparator who's ordering is to be reversed by the returned
comparator or null
Returns
A comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.
- Attributes
Remarks
Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator. If the specified comparator is null
, this method is equivalent to #reverseOrder()
(in other words, it returns a comparator that imposes the reverse of the <em>natural ordering</em> on a collection of objects that implement the Comparable interface).
The returned comparator is serializable (assuming the specified comparator is also serializable or null
).

ReverseOrder()
Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse of the <em>natural
ordering</em> on a collection of objects that implement the
Comparable
interface.

static member ReverseOrder : unit -> Java.Util.IComparator
Returns
A comparator that imposes the reverse of the natural
ordering on a collection of objects that implement
the Comparable
interface.
- Attributes
Remarks
Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse of the <em>natural ordering</em> on a collection of objects that implement the Comparable
interface. (The natural ordering is the ordering imposed by the objects' own compareTo
method.) This enables a simple idiom for sorting (or maintaining) collections (or arrays) of objects that implement the Comparable
interface in reverse-natural-order. For example, suppose a
is an array of strings. Then:
Arrays.sort(a, Collections.reverseOrder());
sorts the array in reverse-lexicographic (alphabetical) order.
The returned comparator is serializable.
