```
public interface Sortable
```
Repository domain should implement this interface in order to notify the system that they can be managed for sorting (see SortPositionRequest).

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default Boolean`	`getSorted()`	Whether or not this instance is explicitly sorted (i.e.
`String`	`getSorting()`	Get the value used for sorting
`void`	`setSorting(String sorting)`	Set the value used for sorting
`default Map<String,Object>`	`sortableBounds()`	A map of field names to values that will be used to construct the bounds of the sorting group to which this entity belongs.

  - getSorting
```
String getSorting()
```
    Get the value used for sorting
    
    Returns:
    
    The sorting value
  - setSorting
```
void setSorting(String sorting)
```
    Set the value used for sorting
    
    Parameters:
    
    sorting - The sorting value
  - sortableBounds
```
default Map<String,Object> sortableBounds()
```
    A map of field names to values that will be used to construct the bounds of the sorting group to which this entity belongs. For example, when sorting CategoryProduct instances, you will want to limit the sorting calculations based on the Category to which this entity belongs. This information is most often used by SortPositionStrategy components.
    
    Returns:
    
    The restrictions that describe the bounds for the sorting group to which this instance belongs
  - getSorted
```
default Boolean getSorted()
```
    Whether or not this instance is explicitly sorted (i.e. getSorting() is not equal to DEFAULT_VALUE).
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether or not this instance is explicitly sorted
