Params:

Create a MutableSortDefinition for the given settings.
Params:
  • property – the property to compare
  • ignoreCase – whether upper and lower case in String values should be ignored
  • ascending – whether to sort ascending (true) or descending (false)

Create a new MutableSortDefinition.
Params:
  • toggleAscendingOnSameProperty – whether to toggle the ascending flag if the same property gets set again (that is, setProperty gets called with already set property name again).

Set the property to compare.

If the property was the same as the current, the sort is reversed if "toggleAscendingOnProperty" is activated, else simply ignored.

Set whether to sort ascending (true) or descending (false).

public void setAscending(boolean ascending) { this.ascending = ascending; } @Override public boolean isAscending() { return this.ascending; }
Set whether to toggle the ascending flag if the same property gets set again (that is, setProperty gets called with already set property name again).

This is particularly useful for parameter binding through a web request, where clicking on the field header again might be supposed to trigger a resort for the same field but opposite order.
