# Class SortedList<E>

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
java.util.AbstractList<E>
javafx.collections.ObservableListBase<E>
javafx.collections.transformation.TransformationList<E,E>
javafx.collections.transformation.SortedList<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Iterable<E>`, `Collection<E>`, `List<E>`, `Observable`, `ObservableList<E>`

public final class SortedList<E> extends TransformationList<E,E>
Wraps an ObservableList and sorts its content. All changes in the ObservableList are propagated immediately to the SortedList. Note: invalid SortedList (as a result of broken comparison) doesn't send any notification to listeners on becoming valid again.

Since:
  JavaFX 8.0

- ## Property Details

  - ### comparator

    public final ObjectProperty<Comparator<? super E>> comparatorProperty
    The comparator that denotes the order of this SortedList. Null for unordered SortedList.
    See Also:
      - `getComparator()`
      - `setComparator(Comparator)`

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### SortedList

    public SortedList(ObservableList<? extends E> source, Comparator<? super E> comparator)
    Creates a new SortedList wrapped around the source list. The source list will be sorted using the comparator provided. If null is provided, the list stays unordered and is equal to the source list.
    Parameters:
      `source` - a list to wrap
      `comparator` - a comparator to use or null for unordered List

  - ### SortedList

    public SortedList(ObservableList<? extends E> source)
    Constructs a new unordered SortedList wrapper around the source list.
    Parameters:
      `source` - the source list
    See Also:
      - `SortedList(javafx.collections.ObservableList, java.util.Comparator)`

- ## Method Details

  - ### sourceChanged

    protected void sourceChanged(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends E> c)

    Parameters:
      `c` - the change

  - ### comparatorProperty

    public final ObjectProperty<Comparator<? super E>> comparatorProperty()
    The comparator that denotes the order of this SortedList. Null for unordered SortedList.

  - ### setComparator

    public final void setComparator(Comparator<? super E> comparator)
    Sets the value of the property comparator.
