compare()
Compare this object to another.
public
compare(mixed $other[, string $mode = 'default' ]) : int
Ultimately this always ends up in usort/uasort, something like:
usort($items, fn($a, $b) => $a->compare($b));
The return type should be the same as the spaceship operator, that is:
-1 $this < $other- first0 $this == $other- same1 $this > $other- last
If not comparable it's best to return -1 to move the 'other' lower
down the list.
Tip, combine comparisons like so:
return $this->group <=> $other->group ?: $this->name <=> $this->name;
Parameters
- $other : mixed
- $mode : string = 'default'
