Java对集合中的元素进行排序的几种方法

一、前言

实际开发中，对业务数据按照指定规则进行排序是很常见的。比如说，“按照记录的创建日期降序排序”、“按照App的应用率从大到小排序”… 在编码过程中，我们
一般在两个层面排序入手：其一、SQL脚本；其二、服务应用层面（通俗来讲就是Java代码层面）。当然，本人探讨的核心是其二。

二、需求设定

假如有一组学生列表，学生对象具有id、姓名、所在年级、出生日期、身高字段。需对这一组学生列表进行以下规则进行排序。

• 先按照年级从大到小排列，如果年级为空，则排在最后面
• 然后再按照出生日期从小到大排列，如果出生日期为空，排在最前面
• 最后，按照身高进行降序排序，如果身高为空，则排在最后面

三、代码实现

3.1 基础业务代码准备

学生模型

	static class Student
{
	private String id;
	private String name;
	private Integer grade;
	private LocalDate birthday;
	private Integer height;

	public Student() {
	}

	public String getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(String id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public Integer getGrade() {
		return grade;
	}

	public void setGrade(Integer grade) {
		this.grade = grade;
	}

	public LocalDate getBirthday() {
		return birthday;
	}

	public void setBirthday(LocalDate birthday) {
		this.birthday = birthday;
	}

	public Integer getHeight() {
		return height;
	}

	public void setHeight(Integer height) {
		this.height = height;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Student{" +
			"id='" + id + '\'' +
			", name='" + name + '\'' +
			", grade=" + grade +
			", birthday=" + birthday +
			", height=" + height +
			'}';
	}
}

模拟真实的测试数据

	private static List<Student> mockData()
	{
		List<Student> list = new ArrayList<Student>();
		Student s1 = new Student();
		s1.setId("s0001");
		s1.setName("张三");
		s1.setGrade(6);
		s1.setBirthday(LocalDate.of(2009, 10, 1));
		s1.setHeight(150);
		list.add(s1);

		list.add(s2);

		Student s3 = new Student();
		s3.setId("s0003");
		s3.setName("王文武");
		s3.setGrade(null);
		s3.setBirthday(LocalDate.of(2012, 1, 9));
		s3.setHeight(112);
		list.add(s3);

		Student s4 = new Student();
		s4.setId("s0004");
		s4.setName("赵佳佳");
		s4.setGrade(6);

		s5.setGrade(6);
		s5.setBirthday(LocalDate.of(2009, 10, 1));
		s5.setHeight(169);
		list.add(s5);

		Student s6 = new Student();
		s6.setId("s0006");
		s6.setName("李四");
		s6.setGrade(4);
		s6.setBirthday(LocalDate.of(2008, 7, 6));
		s6.setHeight(170);

代码

public class App {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<Student> students = mockData();

		// 排序前
		System.out.println(students);

		Collections.sort(students, new Comparator<Student>() {
			@Override
			public int compare(Student o1, Student o2) {
				int gradeCompare = o1.getGrade().compareTo(o2.getGrade());
				if (0 != gradeCompare) {
					return gradeCompare;
				}
				int birthdayCompare = o1.getBirthday().compareTo(o2.getBirthday());
				if (0 != birthdayCompare) {
					return birthdayCompare;
				}
				return o1.getHeight().compareTo(o2.getHeight());
			}
		});

		// 排序后
		System.out.println(students);

我们发现：按照现有的排序规则进行排列时，控制台抛出异常。究其原因，因为我们某些学生排序字段是null，所以导致我们拿到null值进行compareTo，所以报错。

解决方法

1. 过滤掉为空的记录，可以解决上述错误（但是这显然和我们实际开发情况差异较大，实际的数据可能很多数据就是null，我们一般会统一默认null的排在最前面或最后面。所以这种做法排除）
2. 在原有的排序判断逻辑中，添加对每个可能为null的字段判断。（这种做法的弊端，代码繁琐且容易出现细节错误的。而且后期排序规则改动，代码不好维护）

3.3 Java8的写法

Lambda表达式

public class App 
{

	public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
		List<Student> students = mockData();

		// 排序前
		System.out.println(students);

		students.sort((o1, o2) ->
		{
			int gradeCompare = o1.getGrade().compareTo(o2.getGrade());
			if (0 != gradeCompare) 
			{
				return gradeCompare;
			}
			int birthdayCompare = o1.getBirthday().compareTo(o2.getBirthday());
			if (0 != birthdayCompare) 
			{
				return birthdayCompare;
			}
			return o1.getHeight().compareTo(o2.getHeight());
		});

		// 排序后
		System.out.println(students);
	}

流收集器

public class App {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		List<Student> students = mockData();

		// 排序前
		System.out.println(students);

		Collections.sort(students, Comparator.comparing(Student::getGrade)
			.thenComparing(Student::getBirthday)
			.thenComparing(Student::getHeight));

		// 排序后
		System.out.println(students);

运行结果同上。我们发现Java8中并没有解决null值字段比较。这是比较蛋疼的。其中我还尝试了Comparator#nullsFirst()一样存在类似的问题。感觉很鸡肋。所以当我们要排序的字段可能存在null值，我们也不推荐这种方法，

Guava的运行机制：默认情况下，空值的值应较小。对于空字段，您必须为Guava提供一个额外的指令，在这种情况下该怎么做。如果您想做特定的事情，但是通常您想要默认的大小写（即1，a，b，z，null），这是一种灵活的机制。

小结

我们发现上述代码运行后，同样会抛出空指针异常的错误。这还是由于某些的排序字段为null导致的结果。解决方法同上。

此外，我们发现这种写法简洁，但是如果通过使用字符串（没有类型安全性，自动重构）而失去对字段的直接引用，则更容易出错。现在，如果重命名了字段，则编译器甚至不会报告问题。此外，由于此解决方案使用反射，因此排序速度要慢得多。

四、小节
