```
public class DefaultConfidenceComparator
extends Object
```
Default confidence comparator. It will compares the confidence types first, then the units and finally the value. - Two confidences which are null are equals - The confidence which is not null is before null. - Use DefaultCvTermComparator to compare first the confidence types. - If confidence types are equals, use DefaultCvTermComparator to compare the units. - If the units are not set, compares the values (case sensitive) - If both units are set and If they are equals, compares the values (case sensitive) - The confidence (same type, same value) with unit which is not null will be before the one with a null unit
