API Reference > bentleyjs-core > Ids > OrderedId64Iterable > OrderedId64Iterable.compare OrderedId64Iterable.compare Function An ordered comparison of Id64Strings suitable for use with sorting routines like Array.sort and sorted containers like SortedArray and Dictionary. The comparison compares the 64-bit numerical values of the two Ids, returning a negative number if lhs < rhs, a positive number if lhs > rhs, or zero if lhs == rhs. The default string comparison is fine (and more efficient) when numerical ordering is not required; use this instead if you want e.g., "0x100" to be greater than "0xf". compare(lhs: string, rhs: string): number see OrderedId64Iterable.sortArray for a convenient way to sort an array of Id64Strings. Parameter Type Description lhs string rhs string Returns - number Defined in core/bentley/src/OrderedId64Iterable.ts Line 32 Last Updated: 11 June, 2024
