这是另一种选择 - 如果发现一个组件包含少于 3 个零件,则在开始时添加零件以填补空缺。然后它使用排序顺序数组来定义接下来应该比较哪些列:
public void test() {
String[] test = new String[]{
"alpha",
"beta",
"charlie",
"zeta", // Added to demonstrate correctness.
"sitea.alpha",
"sitea.charlie",
"sitea.pagea.beta",
"sitea.pageb.beta",
"sitea.pagea.charlie",
"siteb.alpha",
"siteb.delta",
"siteb.pagef.alpha",
"siteb.pageb.echo",
"siteb.pageb.golf",
"siteb.pagea.hotel",
"siteb.pageb.hotel",
"siteb.pagec.hotel"
};
Arrays.sort(test);
System.out.println("Normal sort: "+Arrays.toString(test));
Arrays.sort(test, new Comparator<String>() {
// How many columns to pad to.
final int padTo = 3;
// What to pad with.
final String padWith = "";
// What order to compare the resultant columns in.
final int[] order = {0, 2, 1};
@Override
public int compare(String s1, String s2) {
String[] s1parts = padArray(s1.split(Pattern.quote(".")), padTo, padWith);
String[] s2parts = padArray(s2.split(Pattern.quote(".")), padTo, padWith);
int diff = 0;
for ( int i = 0; diff == 0 && i < order.length; i++ ) {
diff = s1parts[order[i]].compareTo(s2parts[order[i]]);
}
return diff;
}
String [] padArray(String[] array, int padTo, String padWith) {
String [] padded = new String[padTo];
for ( int i = 0; i < padded.length; i++ ) {
padded[padded.length - i - 1] = i < array.length ? array[i]: padWith;
}
return padded;
}
});
System.out.println("Special sort: "+Arrays.toString(test));
}
打印(或多或少):
Normal sort: [alpha,
beta,
charlie,
sitea.alpha,
sitea.charlie,
sitea.pagea.beta,
sitea.pagea.charlie,
sitea.pageb.beta,
siteb.alpha,
siteb.delta,
siteb.pagea.hotel,
siteb.pageb.echo,
siteb.pageb.golf,
siteb.pageb.hotel,
siteb.pagec.hotel,
siteb.pagef.alpha,
zeta]
Special sort: [alpha,
beta,
charlie,
sitea.alpha,
sitea.charlie,
siteb.alpha,
siteb.delta,
zeta,
siteb.pagef.alpha,
sitea.pagea.beta,
sitea.pageb.beta,
sitea.pagea.charlie,
siteb.pageb.echo,
siteb.pageb.golf,
siteb.pagea.hotel,
siteb.pageb.hotel,
siteb.pagec.hotel]
您的要求似乎有些模棱两可,但这段代码是结构化的,因此您可以通过微不足道的调整,非常简单地实现对比较的大多数解释。
