public int compare(BibEntry e1, BibEntry e2) Implements java.util.Comparator.compare. Doc from java.util.Comparator.compare. Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second. The implementor must ensure that `signum(compare(x, y)) == -signum(compare(y, x))` for all `x` and `y`. (This implies that `compare(x, y)` must throw an exception if and only if `compare(y, x)` throws an exception.) The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: `((compare(x, y)>0) && (compare(y, z)>0))` implies `compare(x, z)>0`. Finally, the implementor must ensure that `compare(x, y)==0` implies that `signum(compare(x, z))==signum(compare(y, z))` for all `z`. Annotations @Override

public int compare(BibEntry e1, BibEntry e2)

Implements java.util.Comparator.compare.

Doc from java.util.Comparator.compare.

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

The implementor must ensure that signum(compare(x, y)) == -signum(compare(y, x)) for all x and y. (This implies that compare(x, y) must throw an exception if and only if compare(y, x) throws an exception.)

The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: ((compare(x, y)>0) && (compare(y, z)>0)) implies compare(x, z)>0.

Finally, the implementor must ensure that compare(x, y)==0 implies that signum(compare(x, z))==signum(compare(y, z)) for all z.
