    • Enum Constant Detail

      • SYSTEM

        public static final Ordering SYSTEM

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Ordering[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Ordering c : Ordering.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Ordering valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • argument

        public String argument()
        Return the {code ordered-by} string argument this Ordering represents.
        Returns:
        Argument string
      • forArgument

        public static Ordering forArgument​(String argumentString)
        Return the Ordering corresponding to an argument string.
        Parameters:
        argumentString - Argument string
        Returns:
        Corresponding Ordering
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if {code argumentString} is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the argument string is not a valid Ordering
