Package org.eclipse.jface.viewers
Class ViewerSorter

org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ViewerComparator
org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ViewerSorter
- Direct Known Subclasses:
TreePathViewerSorter,WorkbenchViewerSorter
Deprecated.
A viewer sorter is used by a
StructuredViewer to reorder the elements
provided by its content provider.
The default compare method compares elements using two steps.
The first step uses the values returned from category. By
default, all elements are in the same category. The second level is based on
a case insensitive compare of the strings obtained from the content viewer's
label provider via ILabelProvider.getText.
Subclasses may implement the isSorterProperty method; they may
reimplement the category method to provide categorization; and
they may override the compare methods to provide a totally
different way of sorting elements.
