MultiComparator

Quando você escreve um SQL para retornar informações do banco de dados de forma ordenada por vários campos, você escreve algo mais ou menos assim:

ORDER BY nome, idade, codigo

E em Java como você reproduz esta funcionaliade?

Eu faço assim ó :D





/**
* You can easily combine the results from several Comparators for an object
* class into one Comparator.
*


*
* You have the multi-comparator, and individual comparators for all the fields,
* you can create a comparator that has any properties you want. For example, to
* sort on EmployeeID, Name, and Age, in that order, you would do this:
*


*
*


* MultiComparator mc = new MultiComparator();
* mc.add(new EmployeeIdComparator(MyENum.ASC));
* mc.add(new EmployeeNameComparator(MyENum.ASC));
* mc.add(new EmployeeAgeComparator(MyENum.DESC));
* Collections.sort(list, mc);
*
