- org.dspace.utils.servicemanager.OrderedServiceComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparator<Object>
```
public final class OrderedServiceComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Object>, Serializable
```
A comparator for provider beans, filters, and plugins which will take ordering into account if OrderedService is implemented. Small numbers are ordered first in priority (i.e. are before large ones). NOTE that 0 means "not a priority" so it gets placed at the end.
