Interface SortSpec

All Superinterfaces:
AttributeTypeIdentifierList
public interface SortSpec extends AttributeTypeIdentifierList
This interface provides the abstraction for specifying sorting. The sorting is specified in terms of a list of AttributeTypeIdentifiers and an associated ascending and case sensitive boolean attributes. The order of the list is significant (e.g. the AttributeTypeIdentifier at index 0 is the primary sort attribute).

Supported API: true
