Annotation Type SortNatural

@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface SortNatural

Specifies in-memory Set/Map sorting using natural sorting.

NOTE : Sorting is different than ordering (see OrderBy) which is applied during the SQL SELECT.

For sorting based on a comparator, use SortComparator instead. It is illegal to combine SortComparator and SortNatural.
