Class ReferencesOrderOrError

java.lang.Object
org.ek9lang.compiler.phase1.ReferencesOrderOrError
All Implemented Interfaces:
Consumer<EK9Parser.ReferencesBlockContext>
final class ReferencesOrderOrError extends Object implements Consumer<EK9Parser.ReferencesBlockContext>
Checks that references within a references block are in alphabetical order.

EK9 requires references to be sorted alphabetically for consistency:

  • Faster scanning - developers can quickly find or verify a reference
  • Reduced merge conflicts - alphabetical order minimizes VCS conflicts
  • AI-friendly - consistent patterns help AI tools understand and generate code

The comparison is case-insensitive and uses the full qualified name.
