package org.springframework.core;

 Interface that can be implemented by objects that should be
 orderable, for example in a Collection.

 The actual order can be interpreted as prioritization, with
 the first object (with the lowest order value) having the highest
 priority.

 
Note that there is a 'priority' marker for this interface:
 PriorityOrdered. Order values expressed by PriorityOrdered
 objects always apply before order values of 'plain' Ordered values.

 Useful constant for the lowest precedence value.

	int LOWEST_PRECEDENCE = Integer.MAX_VALUE;


	
 Return the order value of this object, with a
 higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.
 Normally starting with 0 or 1, with LOWEST_PRECEDENCE
 indicating greatest. Same order values will result in arbitrary
 positions for the affected objects.
 
Higher value can be interpreted as lower priority,
 consequently the first object has highest priority
 (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).
 
Note that order values below 0 are reserved for framework
 purposes. Application-specified values should always be 0 or
 greater, with only framework components (internal or third-party)
 supposed to use lower values.
 
 Returns:the order value See also:LOWEST_PRECEDENCE
