Sorter.compare

Compares two given items according to the sort order implemented by the sorter.

Sorters implement a partial order:

It is reflexive, ie a = a
It is antisymmetric, ie if a < b and b < a, then a = b
It is transitive, ie given any 3 items with a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c

The sorter may signal it conforms to additional constraints via the return value of gtk.sorter.Sorter.getOrder.

(

gobject.object.ObjectG item1
