Class SearchResultTimeComparator

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.nite.util.SearchResultTimeComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator

public class SearchResultTimeComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator

This is (was) a commonly used subclass in sample programs which implements the comparator and orders search results by the start time of the first bound variable in the query. Normally called like this:
private Engine searchEngine = new net.sourceforge.nite.search.Engine();
reslist = searchEngine.search(nom, "($a segment)");
reslist.remove(0);
Collections.sort(reslist, new SearchResultTimeComparator());
The first element of a search result list is always a list of variable names and that's why we normally remove it before passing to the Comparator.
