Feature request: Sorting about fastadapter HOT 11 CLOSED

@rubengees I think this is out of scope. You can provide a new list to the FastAdapter at any time. And sorting is as easy as

Collections.sort()

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#sort(java.util.List)

No need to add more methods here, as it would just call this single method. I prefer this library to stay really focused.

Yeah sure I know that I can sort myself, but it would be really handy if I won't have to. When I read the description of FastAdapter I thought it was some kind of All-in-one adapter which does all the common things you do with lists without the need for you to write the boilerplate yourself. So I don't think this is out of scope. The lists of other languages like C# offer such functionality out of the box.
And even if it easy, I think it just belongs to the adapter to do such tasks and not into the activity or wherever the adapter is used.

@mikepenz In your way I have to get all items from adapter, sort them and then put them back in the adapter? Is this correct?

from fastadapter.

@Rainer-Lang normally you know about your items. You have to add them at some point. So I assume that you still know about the items at the point of time when you want to sort them

@mikepenz And for "only" re-sorting, which method would you suggest?

1. set()
2. setNewList()
