Compare the length/size of two files for order (see File.length() and FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File)).

This comparator can be used to sort lists or arrays of files by their length/size.

Example of sorting a list of files using the SIZE_COMPARATOR singleton instance:

      List<File> list = ...
      ((AbstractFileComparator) SizeFileComparator.SIZE_COMPARATOR).sort(list);

Example of doing a reverse sort of an array of files using the SIZE_REVERSE singleton instance:

      File[] array = ...
      ((AbstractFileComparator) SizeFileComparator.SIZE_REVERSE).sort(array);

N.B. Directories are treated as zero size unless sumDirectoryContents is true.

Since:1.4

Construct a file size comparator instance specifying whether the size of the directory contents should be aggregated.

If the sumDirectoryContents is true The size of directories is calculated using FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File).

Params:
  • sumDirectoryContents – true if the sum of the directories' contents should be calculated, otherwise false if directories should be treated as size zero (see FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(File)).

Returns:a negative value if the first file's length is less than the second, zero if the lengths are the same and a positive value if the first files length is greater than the second file.
