io.starter.OpenXLS.CellComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Object>

public class CellComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Object>

CellComparitor is a implementation of a comparitor for sorting cell values. In this instance numeric values (whether from a cell or a formula result) are sorted before any string values. Date values are sorted according to their internal date representation. Note that currently this means Dates will always sort above strings due to them storing their value as a long. Starter Inc.
