de.innovationgate.utils.ObjectComparator

A generic {@link Comparator} for any object type.The comparator compares by the following rules:

A null value is always larger than a non-null-value
If both values are Strings they are compared by the collator given as constructor parameter
If both values are {@link Comparable} they are compared based on this
If they are neither strings nor comparables they are compared based on their {@link Object#toString()} strings using the collator
If both objects are collections it compares the collection items value by value in iteration order
If only one object is a collection the other object is converted to a collection with the object as single value
If the collections are of unequal size and no difference could be found by the item positions that both have in common, the collection with larger size is returned as the bigger one

    // sorting of entries - We must prefetch all contents here to be able to sort them in WebTML
    String sortOrder = this.getSortorder();
    if (sortOrder != null && !sortOrder.equals("none")) {
        List<Object> objects = objectIterator.extractCompleteList();
      if (!status.forEachType.equals("content")) {
        java.util.Collections.sort(objects, new ObjectComparator(retrieveCollator()));
      }
      else {
        contentSort(objects);
      }
