NamedBeanPreferNumericComparator (JMRI API)

java.lang.Object
- jmri.util.NamedBeanComparator<B>
- - jmri.util.NamedBeanPreferNumericComparator<B>

Type Parameters:

B - the type of NamedBean to compare

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<B>
```
public class NamedBeanPreferNumericComparator<B extends NamedBean>
extends NamedBeanComparator<B>
```
Compare two NamedBeans using the PreferNumericComparator against NamedBean.getSystemName() for each NamedBean.
If the requirement is that Comparator.compare(Object, Object) return 0 for two numerically identical NamedBean System Names (i.e. IT42 == IT0042), use NamedBeanComparator, but if the requirement is that System Names should be numerically ordered, but that non-identical representations of numbers should be different, (i.e. IT42 != IT0042, but order should be IT3, IT4, IT5, IT42, IT0042, IT50), use this Comparator.
