```
public class DefaultEntityBaseComparator
extends Object
```
Default entity comparator It will first compare the interactors using DefaultInteractorComparator. If both interactors are the same, it will look at the stoichiometry (participant with lower stoichiometry will come first). This comparator will ignore all the other properties of an entity.
