comparator

public static Comparator<MetadataValueDTO> comparator()

Build a comparator to support proper sorting of MetadataValueDTO objects. Order of sorting is based on how these things are normally sorted in human-readable formats, with field name -> value -> lang/auth/etc being the usual order we use. In all these individual tests, nulls are sorted first (eg. dc.title before dc.title.alternative)

Returns:

comparator
