java - Sort Intervals in Joda-Time

Question

I have list of Joda-Time Interval objects.

List<Interval> intervals = new ArrayList<Interval>();

How can I sort the intervals on the beginning Date of each interval. The intervals are not overlapping

Answer 1

Just create a Comparator<Interval> which compares by start times:

public class IntervalStartComparator implements Comparator<Interval> {
    @Override
    public int compare(Interval x, Interval y) {
        return x.getStart().compareTo(y.getStart());
    }
}

Then sort using that:

Collections.sort(intervals, new IntervalStartComparator());
