Class ReflectionKit.MemberClassComparator

java.lang.Object
  echopoint.util.ReflectionKit.MemberClassComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator

Direct Known Subclasses:

ReflectionKit.ClassMemberComparator, ReflectionKit.FieldClassComparator, ReflectionKit.MethodClassComparator

Enclosing class:

ReflectionKit

public static class ReflectionKit.MemberClassComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator

A Comparator that can be used when comparing and sorting Member objects by name, modifier and finally declaring class order. NOTE : Member is the base class for Constructor, Field and Method and hence you can sort any of these types with this Comparator.

If the Member's names are the same they are then sorted by modifier and parameters and finally by declaring class with the most specific class first.

In short it sorts in "Member / Modifiers / Parameters / Declaring Class" order.
