Re: [Mpxj-developers] Sorting by Task.getStart()

[Jon I. <pac...@go...>]

Hi,

here is a code snippet for you showing how to sort a collection using a
Comparator:

   public void sortTasks(List<Task> tasks)
   {
      Collections.sort(tasks, new Comparator<Task>()
      {
         @Override public int compare(Task o1, Task o2)
         {
            return DateUtility.compare(o1.getStart(), o2.getStart());
         }
      });
   }

The method performs an "in place" sort of the tasks list, using the compare
method of the Comparator to determine the sort order.

Hope that helps!

Jon
