Method Details
- natural
  
  public static <T> ElementOrderMethod<T> natural()
  
  Get the natural ordering method
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  T - the element type
  
  Returns:
  
  the natural ordering method
- internal
  
  public static <T> ElementOrderMethod<T> internal()
  
  Get the internal ordering method. This represents the method of explicitly maintaining a map from the elements to long integers. Thus, it incurs a penalty in space and in lookups.
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  T - the element type
  
  Returns:
  
  the internal ordering method
- comparator
  
  public static <T> ElementOrderMethod<T> comparator(java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)
  
  Get the comparator ordering method.
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  T - the element type
  
  Parameters:
  
  comparator - the actual comparator
  
  Returns:
  
  the comparator ordering method
- guavaComparator
  
  public static <T> ElementOrderMethod<T> guavaComparator()
  
  Get the guava comparator ordering method.
  
  Type Parameters:
  
  T - the element type
  
  Returns:
  
  the comparator ordering method
- comparator
  
  public java.util.Comparator<T> comparator()
  
  Get the comparator. Returns null if the method does not use an explicit comparator.
  
  Returns:
  
  the comparator or null if the method does not use an explicit comparator
- getType
  
  public ElementOrderMethod.Type getType()
  
  Get the type
  
  Returns:
  
  the type
