Interface Sorter

public interface Sorter

The Sorter provides methods for sorting collections of PM objects by a list of SortKeys.

Each sort key defines a Path to the PM's child node that should be used as sort field. The comparison itself is delegated to a Comparable substitute generated by the sort field's HasComparable.getComparable() method.
