Method

int	compare(T o1, T o2) Compares its two arguments for order.
Comparator	comparing( Function keyExtractor) Accepts a function that extracts a java.lang.Comparable Comparable sort key from a type T , and returns a Comparator that compares by that sort key.
Comparator	comparing(Function keyExtractor, Comparator keyComparator) Accepts a function that extracts a sort key from a type T , and returns a Comparator that compares by that sort key using the specified Comparator .
Comparator	comparingDouble(ToDoubleFunction keyExtractor) Accepts a function that extracts a double sort key from a type T , and returns a Comparator that compares by that sort key.
Comparator	comparingInt(ToIntFunction keyExtractor) Accepts a function that extracts an int sort key from a type T , and returns a Comparator that compares by that sort key.
Comparator	comparingLong(ToLongFunction keyExtractor) Accepts a function that extracts a long sort key from a type T , and returns a Comparator that compares by that sort key.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this comparator.
Class	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object .
Comparator	naturalOrder() Returns a comparator that compares Comparable objects in natural order.

Comparator	nullsLast(Comparator comparator) Returns a null-friendly comparator that considers null to be greater than non-null.
Comparator	reversed() Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse ordering of this comparator.
Comparator	reverseOrder() Returns a comparator that imposes the reverse of the natural ordering.
Comparator	thenComparing(Comparator other) Returns a lexicographic-order comparator with another comparator.
Comparator	thenComparing( Function keyExtractor) Returns a lexicographic-order comparator with a function that extracts a Comparable sort key.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
