Enum Constant Detail

ASCENDING

public static final SortDirection ASCENDING

Ascending sort direction. Nulls appear first. For ascending order, this means nulls appear at the beginning.

DESCENDING

public static final SortDirection DESCENDING

Descending sort direction. Nulls appear last. For ascending order, this means nulls appear at the end.

Method Detail

values

public static SortDirection[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SortDirection c : SortDirection.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SortDirection valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

defaultNullOrdering

public NullOrdering defaultNullOrdering()

Returns the default null ordering to use if no null ordering is specified explicitly.

Returns:

The default null ordering.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<SortDirection>

fromString

public static SortDirection fromString(java.lang.String str)

Returns the SortDirection from the string representation.

Parameters:

str - The string representation of the sort direction.

Returns:

The SortDirection.
