@Target({METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface SortComparator

Specifies in-memory Set/Map sorting using a specified Comparator for sorting. NOTE : Sorting is different than ordering (see OrderBy) which is applied during the SQL SELECT. For sorting based on natural sort order, use SortNatural instead. It is illegal to combine SortComparator and SortNatural.
