Subclasses of Ordering in com.google.common.collect

Modifier and Type	Class	Description

(package private) class	NullsFirstOrdering<T>	An ordering that treats null as less than all other values.
(package private) class	NullsLastOrdering<T>	An ordering that treats null as greater than all other values.
(package private) static class	Ordering.ArbitraryOrdering
private static class	Range.RangeLexOrdering	Needed to serialize sorted collections of Ranges.

Methods in com.google.common.collect that return Ordering

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static Ordering<java.lang.Object>	Ordering.allEqual()	Returns an ordering which treats all values as equal, indicating "no ordering." Passing this ordering to any stable sort algorithm results in no change to the order of elements.
static Ordering<java.lang.Object>	Ordering.arbitrary()	Returns an arbitrary ordering over all objects, for which compare(a, b) == 0 implies a == b (identity equality).
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.compound(java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.util.Comparator<? super T>> comparators)	Returns an ordering which tries each given comparator in order until a non-zero result is found, returning that result, and returning zero only if all comparators return zero.
<U extends T> Ordering<U>	Ordering.compound(java.util.Comparator<? super U> secondaryComparator)	Returns an ordering which first uses the ordering this, but which in the event of a "tie", then delegates to secondaryComparator.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.explicit(java.util.List<T> valuesInOrder)	Returns an ordering that compares objects according to the order in which they appear in the given list.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.explicit(T leastValue, T... remainingValuesInOrder)	Returns an ordering that compares objects according to the order in which they are given to this method.
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(Ordering<T> ordering)	Deprecated. no need to use this
static <T> Ordering<T>	Ordering.from(java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)	Returns an ordering based on an existing comparator instance.
<S extends T> Ordering<java.lang.Iterable<S>>	Ordering.lexicographical()	Returns a new ordering which sorts iterables by comparing corresponding elements pairwise until a nonzero result is found; imposes "dictionary order".
static <C extends java.lang.Comparable> Ordering<C>	Ordering.natural()	Returns a serializable ordering that uses the natural order of the values.
<S extends java.lang.Comparable> Ordering<S>	NaturalOrdering.nullsFirst()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsFirstOrdering.nullsFirst()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsLastOrdering.nullsFirst()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.nullsFirst()	Returns an ordering that treats null as less than all other values and uses this to compare non-null values.
<S extends java.lang.Comparable> Ordering<S>	NaturalOrdering.nullsLast()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsFirstOrdering.nullsLast()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsLastOrdering.nullsLast()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.nullsLast()	Returns an ordering that treats null as greater than all other values and uses this ordering to compare non-null values.
(package private) <T2 extends T> Ordering<java.util.Map.Entry<T2,?>>	Ordering.onKeys()
<F> Ordering<F>	Ordering.onResultOf(Function<F,? extends T> function)	Returns a new ordering on F which orders elements by first applying a function to them, then comparing those results using this.
private <T extends B> Ordering<T>	MinMaxPriorityQueue.Builder.ordering()
(package private) static <C extends java.lang.Comparable<?>> Ordering<Range<C>>	Range.rangeLexOrdering()
<S> Ordering<S>	AllEqualOrdering.reverse()
private static <T> Ordering<T>	Maps.DescendingMap.reverse(java.util.Comparator<T> forward)
<S extends java.lang.Comparable> Ordering<S>	NaturalOrdering.reverse()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsFirstOrdering.reverse()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	NullsLastOrdering.reverse()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	Ordering.reverse()	Returns the reverse of this ordering; the Ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(Comparator).
<S extends java.lang.Comparable> Ordering<S>	ReverseNaturalOrdering.reverse()
<S extends T> Ordering<S>	ReverseOrdering.reverse()
private static <T> Ordering<T>	Sets.DescendingSet.reverse(java.util.Comparator<T> forward)
static Ordering<java.lang.Object>	Ordering.usingToString()	Returns an ordering that compares objects by the natural ordering of their string representations as returned by toString().
