我读过关于使用比较器排序数组列表的内容，但在所有的例子中，人们都使用了compareTo，根据一些研究，它是字符串的一种方法。
我想根据自定义对象的一个属性(Date对象)对其数组列表进行排序 (getStartDay())。通常我通过item1.getStartDate().before(item2.getStartDate())比较它们，所以我想知道我是否可以写一些像这样的东西:
public class CustomComparator {
public boolean compare(Object object1, Object object2) {
return object1.getStartDate().before(object2.getStartDate());
}
}
public class RandomName {
...
Collections.sort(Database.arrayList, new CustomComparator);
...
}
当前回答
java8 lambda表达式
Collections.sort(studList, (Student s1, Student s2) ->{
return s1.getFirstName().compareToIgnoreCase(s2.getFirstName());
});
OR
Comparator<Student> c = (s1, s2) -> s1.firstName.compareTo(s2.firstName);
studList.sort(c)
其他回答
具有自然排序顺序的类(例如类Number)应该实现Comparable接口，而没有自然排序顺序的类(例如类Chair)应该提供Comparator(或匿名Comparator类)。
两个例子:
public class Number implements Comparable<Number> {
private int value;
public Number(int value) { this.value = value; }
public int compareTo(Number anotherInstance) {
return this.value - anotherInstance.value;
}
}
public class Chair {
private int weight;
private int height;
public Chair(int weight, int height) {
this.weight = weight;
this.height = height;
}
/* Omitting getters and setters */
}
class ChairWeightComparator implements Comparator<Chair> {
public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
return chair1.getWeight() - chair2.getWeight();
}
}
class ChairHeightComparator implements Comparator<Chair> {
public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
return chair1.getHeight() - chair2.getHeight();
}
}
用法:
List<Number> numbers = new ArrayList<Number>();
...
Collections.sort(numbers);
List<Chair> chairs = new ArrayList<Chair>();
// Sort by weight:
Collections.sort(chairs, new ChairWeightComparator());
// Sort by height:
Collections.sort(chairs, new ChairHeightComparator());
// You can also create anonymous comparators;
// Sort by color:
Collections.sort(chairs, new Comparator<Chair>() {
public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
...
}
});
你可以试试番石榴点菜:
Function<Item, Date> getStartDate = new Function<Item, Date>() {
public Date apply(Item item) {
return item.getStartDate();
}
};
List<Item> orderedItems = Ordering.natural().onResultOf(getStartDate).
sortedCopy(items);
你的customComparator类必须实现java.util.Comparator才能被使用。 它还必须覆盖compare() AND equals()
compare()必须回答这个问题:对象1是否小于、等于或大于对象2?

使用java-8流api，你可以对数组列表进行排序:
Comparator<Person> birthdayComparator = Comparator.comparing(Person::getBirthday);
List<Person> sortedList = list.stream().sorted(birthdayComparator).collect(toList());
函数和方法参考
的集合。sort方法可以使用传入的比较器对列表进行排序。该比较器可以使用Comparator. comparison方法实现，其中可以传递一个方法引用作为必要的函数。幸运的是，实际代码比这个描述简单得多。
对于Java 8:
Collections.sort(list, comparing(ClassName::getName));
or
Collections.sort(list, comparing(ClassName::getName).reversed());
另一种方法是
Collections.sort(list, comparing(ClassName::getName, Comparator.nullsLast(Comparator.naturalOrder())));
