Enclosing class:

RepeatItem

public static class RepeatItem.RepeatItemComparator

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.util.Comparator, java.io.Serializable

Since sorting such objects is based on the sort's list of sort fields, sort directions, and sort priorities (which field gets sorted first), a custom Comparator was needed.
