NumberAwareStringComparator (ecp-parent 1.27.0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.emfforms.spi.common.sort.NumberAwareStringComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<java.lang.String>
```
public final class NumberAwareStringComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<java.lang.String>
```
A comparator for strings that compares numbers which are part of compared string as numbers and not as strings. This allows to sort strings that are a mixture of numbers and text (e.g. house numbers) in an intuitive fashion. For instance, plain string sorting sorts 200A greater than 1000A. This comparator sorts 1000A greater than 200A.
