Imports
java.util.Comparator, org.jabref.model.entry.BibEntry, org.jabref.model.entry.field.StandardField
Compares Bibtex entries based on their 'crossref' fields. Entries including this field are deemed smaller than entries without this field. This serves the purpose of always placing referenced entries after referring entries in the .bib file. After this criterion comes comparisons of individual fields.

Method Detail

compareback to summary
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.
