[ovirt-devel] SortedListModel

[Alexander Wels]

Hi guys,

I have a question about the SortedListModel. If you look at the 
setItems(Collection<T> value) method. You will notice that eventually all the 
items are added to a SortedSet. This is not a problem if all the elements of 
your collection are different. But what happens if the elements of your 
collection are not all different. More specifically if I pass in a comparator 
that matches on a field of the object that is not different like description, or 
size or something of that nature.

The set will reduce the number of elements. Before I change it to be a list 
that can have duplicates, I would like to know the origin of the set and if 
there are going to be any issues when I do that.

Thanks,
Alexander
