    public interface Ordered

Interface that can be implemented by objects that should be orderable, for example in a Collection.

The actual order can be interpreted as prioritization, with the first object (with the lowest order value) having the highest priority.

  `OrderComparator`, `Order`

Field Summary
`static int` | `HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE` Useful constant for the highest precedence value.
`static int` | `LOWEST_PRECEDENCE` Useful constant for the lowest precedence value.

Method Summary
`int` | `getOrder()` Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

Field Detail

### HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE

    static final int HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE

  Useful constant for the highest precedence value.

  See Also:
    `Integer.MIN_VALUE`, Constant Field Values

### LOWEST_PRECEDENCE

    static final int LOWEST_PRECEDENCE

  Useful constant for the lowest precedence value.

  See Also:
    `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### getOrder

    int getOrder()

  Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

  Normally starting with 0 or 1, with `LOWEST_PRECEDENCE` indicating greatest. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

  Higher value can be interpreted as lower priority, consequently the first object has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

  Note that order values below 0 are reserved for framework purposes. Application-specified values should always be 0 or greater, with only framework components (internal or third-party) supposed to use lower values.

  Returns:
    the order value
  See Also:
    `LOWEST_PRECEDENCE`
