Sort Helpers

The Sort namespace groups enums that help with ordering logic without coupling you to a specific library.

Why this namespace exists

Sorting code often accumulates "magic" values such as 1 , -1 , ASC , DESC , ad-hoc null rules, and case-sensitivity flags. These enums make those choices explicit and typed.

Examples

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use FastForward\Enum\Sort\CaseSensitivity;
use FastForward\Enum\Sort\ComparisonResult;
use FastForward\Enum\Sort\NullsPosition;
use FastForward\Enum\Sort\SortDirection;

SortDirection::Descending->applyToComparisonResult(5); // -5
NullsPosition::Last->compareNullability(null, 'value'); // 1
CaseSensitivity::Insensitive->equals('Draft', 'draft'); // true
ComparisonResult::fromComparisonResult(-1); // ComparisonResult::RightGreater

What each enum is for

`SortDirection`

Represents ascending vs descending order and can invert comparator results through applyToComparisonResult() .

`NullsPosition`

Represents whether null values should sort first or last.

`CaseSensitivity`

Represents whether string comparisons should preserve case or normalize it.

`ComparisonResult`

Represents comparator-style outcomes such as LeftGreater and RightGreater without passing around raw integers.
