ComparableExecutable (Hibernate Javadocs (hibernate-core))

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<ComparableExecutable>, Executable, Serializable
```
public interface ComparableExecutable
extends Executable, Comparable<ComparableExecutable>, Serializable
```
We frequently need the union type of Executable, Comparable of ComparableExecutable, Serializable; this interface represents such union; this helps to simplify several generic signatures. Secondarily, it helps to avoid triggering type pollution by not needing to typecheck for a very specific Comparable type; we represent the common needs to resolve sorting by exposing primary and secondary sorting attributes.

- Method Detail
  - getPrimarySortClassifier
```
String getPrimarySortClassifier()
```
    This affect sorting order of the executables, when sorting is enabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the primary sorting attribute; typically the entity name or collection role.
  - getSecondarySortIndex
```
Object getSecondarySortIndex()
```
    This affect sorting order of the executables, when sorting is enabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    the secondary sorting attribute, applied when getPrimarySortClassifier matches during a comparison; typically the entity key or collection key.
