Methods

public static sortAccountsWithSortableWrapper(List<Account> accounts)

Demonstrates how to sort a list of SObject in place (without the need for a return statement). This example shows how to sort Accounts based on the ShippingCountry field. We use a SortableAccount wrapper class in order to implement the Comparable interface so that we can use List.sort() with SObject.

Parameters

Param	Description
accounts	a list of accounts that will be sorted in place

public static sortAccountsWithComparator(List<Account> accounts)

Demonstrates how to sort a list of SObject in place with reusable comparators. This example shows how to sort Accounts based on the ShippingCountry field. We use a generic ListUtils utility class with a SObjectStringFieldComparator class that implements the ListUtils.Comparator interface.

Parameters

Param	Description
accounts	a list of accounts that will be sorted in place
