java.lang.Object
- jmri.util.NamedBeanHandleComparator<H>

H - NamedBeanHandle of a supported type of NamedBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class NamedBeanHandleComparator<H extends NamedBeanHandle<? extends NamedBean>>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<H>
```
Comparator for JMRI NamedBeanHandle of NamedBeans via their System Names.
