Type Parameters:

T - the type of the attribute
```
public interface AttributeMatchingStrategy<T>

`CompatibilityRuleChain<T>`	`getCompatibilityRules()`
`DisambiguationRuleChain<T>`	`getDisambiguationRules()`
`void`	`ordered(boolean pickLast, java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)`	A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided `Comparator`.
`void`	`ordered(java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)`	A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided `Comparator`.

- Method Detail
  - getCompatibilityRules
```
CompatibilityRuleChain<T> getCompatibilityRules()
```
  - getDisambiguationRules
```
DisambiguationRuleChain<T> getDisambiguationRules()
```
  - ordered
```
void ordered(java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)
```
    A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided Comparator.
    
    All provider values which are lower than or equal the consumer value are compatible. When disambiguating, it will pick the highest compatible value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    comparator - the comparator to use for compatibility and disambiguation
  - ordered
```
void ordered(boolean pickLast,
             java.util.Comparator<T> comparator)
```
    A short-hand way to define both a compatibility rule and a disambiguation rule based on an order defined by the provided Comparator.
    
    All provider values which are lower than or equal the consumer value are compatible.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pickLast - tells if, for disambiguation, we should pick the last value in order instead of the first one
    
    comparator - the comparator to use for compatibility and disambiguation
