Move-assigns other to this collator key.

QCollatorSortKey &QCollatorSortKey::operator=(const QCollatorSortKey &other)

Assigns other to this collator key.

QCollatorSortKey::~QCollatorSortKey()

Destroys the collator key.

int QCollatorSortKey::compare(const QCollatorSortKey &otherKey) const

Compares this key to otherKey.

Returns a negative value if the key is less than otherKey, 0 if the key is equal to otherKey or a positive value if the key is greater than otherKey.

void QCollatorSortKey::swap(QCollatorSortKey &other)

Swaps this collator key with other.
