All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<java.time.Instant>
```
class InstantComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<java.time.Instant>
```
Specialized comparator for Instants. If either timestamp has a zero fraction, compares only seconds. If either timestamp has no time fraction smaller than a millisecond, compares only milliseconds. If either timestamp has no fraction smaller than a microsecond, compares only microseconds.

public int compare(java.time.Instant a,
                   java.time.Instant b)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface java.util.Comparator<java.time.Instant>
  - compare
```
public int compare(java.time.Instant a,
                   java.time.Instant b,
                   boolean forceSecondsOnly)
```
    Compares two Instants to the lower resolution of the two instants. See InstantComparator.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - first Instant to compare
    
    b - second Instant to compare
    
    forceSecondsOnly - whether to omit all fraction comparison
    
    Returns:
    
    a value < 0 if a < b, a value > 0 if a > b, and 0 if a == b
