Member Function Documentation
Compare two objects o1 and o2.
Return a value < 0, when o1 is less than o2, a value > 0, when o1 is greater than o2, or 0, when o1 and o2 are equal.
If o1.equals(o2) (as defined in Object), compare(o1, o2) must be 0, but, unlike you may expect, the reversed is not necessarily true. This method returns 0, if, according to the rules for sorting, there is no difference, but there may still be differences (not relevant for sorting), which "equals" will care about.
Implements lout::object::Comparator.
