ASCENDING

public static final SortOrder ASCENDING

Discrete states should be sorted in ascending order.

DESCENDING

public static final SortOrder DESCENDING

Discrete states should be sorted in descending order.

ASCENDING_FREQUENCY

public static final SortOrder ASCENDING_FREQUENCY

Discrete states should be sorted in order of ascending frequency of ocuurence in the data.

Method Detail

values

public static SortOrder[] 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 (SortOrder c : SortOrder.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static SortOrder valueOf(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:

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

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
