Note that nulls are permitted, and should be sorted to the beginning of an ascending sort; i.e. null is considered to be "smaller" than non-null values.

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared

o2 - the second object to be compared

Returns:

an integer representing relative ordering

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this comparator
