compareTo method

@override int compareTo(EncodingTabRec other)

Compares this object to another object.

Returns a value like a Comparator when comparing this to other. That is, it returns a negative integer if this is ordered before other, a positive integer if this is ordered after other, and zero if this and other are ordered together.

The other argument must be a value that is comparable to this object.

Implementation

@override
int compareTo(EncodingTabRec other){
  late int cnt;
  // group > series > (nr | variant) > key > encoding.name
  // non- null > null
  cnt = this.group.compareTo(other.group);
  if(cnt != 0) return cnt;

  cnt = this.series.compareTo(other.series);
  if(cnt != 0) return cnt;

  cnt = this.group.compareTo(other.group);
  if(cnt != 0) return cnt;

  cnt = this.nr.compareTo(other.nr);
  if(cnt != 0) return cnt;

  cnt = this.variant.compareTo(other.variant);
  if(cnt != 0) return cnt;

  return this.iana.compareTo(other.iana);
}
