Detailed Description

MCollator is a MLocale dependant class that is used to do locale aware string comparisons.

MCollator can be created using MLocale::collator(). It is used as a functor or with the comparison methods.

Example:

  MLocale loc; // default locale
  MCollator comp = loc.collator();

  QStringList stringList;
  stringList << "bb" << "da" << "aa" << "ab";

  qSort(stringList.begin(), stringList.end(), comp); // sorts the list

Member Function Documentation

MLocale::Comparison MCollator::compare	(	const QString &	first,
		const QString &	second
	)			[static]

Compares two strings with the default MLocale.

MLocale::Comparison MCollator::compare	(	MLocale &	locale,
		const QString &	first,
		const QString &	second
	)			[static]

Compares two strings using the given locale.

bool MCollator::operator()	(	const QString &	s1,
		const QString &	s2
	)			const

operator () works as lessThan comparison.

Returns true if first string is less than the second
