public interface TwoWayComparable

A version of the Comparable interface which allow objects to be sorted differently in forward and backwards order. This means that the ordering is not simply the reverse ordering when the reverse flag is set. This is useful for orderings where certain elements should always remain at the top or the bottom of the sort, e.g. summation values. E.g. A, B, C, Total and C, B, A, Total. This comparable is supported in the SortedTable.
