Package ai.timefold.solver.core.impl.heuristic.selector.common.decorator

Interface SelectionSorter<Solution_,T>

Type Parameters:

Solution_ - the solution type, the class with the PlanningSolution annotation

T - the selection type

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComparatorFactorySelectionSorter, ComparatorSelectionSorter

@NullMarked
public interface SelectionSorter<Solution_,T>

Decides the order of a List of selection (which is a PlanningEntity, a planningValue, a Move or a Selector).

Implementations are expected to be stateless. The solver may choose to reuse instances.
