Re: [xwiki-devs] [Contrib]A new component : XWiki Object Sort

Doing this means that we're going to reuse a tool that we're already supposed to be using for general sorting, and we'd get as benefits the ability to specify a sort direction, and the ability to mix properties and other object metadata, like owner document or object number. - Even as it is right now, I don't like that the script service only has a getInstance method and then exposes the internal object. - I don't think that both sort and sortCopy are needed. Only the method that sorts a copy and returns it should be available. - sortCopyByProps should also be called just sort, since the type of parameters passed will be enough for the right method to be called (polymorphism). And I'm actually wondering if we need both methods or not, since sorting by just one property could be done by passing a list with just one member. WDYT? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu
