java list sort多重排序,Java的Collections.sort（list，comparator）的排序顺序是什么？小到大还是大到小？...

Apparently, it's not documented or I missed it.

Here's the link to the documentation and below's the text as an image:

EDIT(17/5): I think too many confused this question to be a comparator question. It is not. The comparator compares between 2 elements. According to that comparison, the list sorted. How? Ascending or Descending?

I'll refine/simplify the question even further: If the comparator decides that element A is smaller than element B. In the sorted list, will element A be located at a smaller index than element B?

The sort order is always ascending, where the Comparator defines which items are larger than others.

Sorts the specified list according to the order induced by the specified comparator.

From the documentation for Comparator.compare(T,T):

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
