Definition

Namespace:
Java.Util
Assembly:
Mono.Android.dll

Overloads

ReverseOrder(IComparator)

Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.
ReverseOrder()

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

ReverseOrder(IComparator)

Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.

[Android.Runtime.Register("reverseOrder", "(Ljava/util/Comparator;)Ljava/util/Comparator;", "")]
[Java.Interop.JavaTypeParameters(new System.String[] { "T" })]
public static Java.Util.IComparator ReverseOrder (Java.Util.IComparator? cmp);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("reverseOrder", "(Ljava/util/Comparator;)Ljava/util/Comparator;", "")>]
[<Java.Interop.JavaTypeParameters(new System.String[] { "T" })>]
static member ReverseOrder : Java.Util.IComparator -> Java.Util.IComparator

Parameters

cmp
IComparator

a comparator who's ordering is to be reversed by the returned comparator or null

Returns

IComparator

A comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of the specified comparator.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute JavaTypeParametersAttribute

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.

[Android.Runtime.Register("reverseOrder", "()Ljava/util/Comparator;", "")]
[Java.Interop.JavaTypeParameters(new System.String[] { "T" })]
public static Java.Util.IComparator ReverseOrder ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("reverseOrder", "()Ljava/util/Comparator;", "")>]
[<Java.Interop.JavaTypeParameters(new System.String[] { "T" })>]
static member ReverseOrder : unit -> Java.Util.IComparator

Returns

IComparator

A comparator that imposes the reverse of the natural ordering on a collection of objects that implement the Comparable interface.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute JavaTypeParametersAttribute

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.
