Expand description
Trait for types that form a total order.
Implementations must be consistent with the PartialOrd
implementation, and ensure max
, min
, and clamp
are consistent with cmp
:
partial_cmp(a, b) == Some(cmp(a, b))
.max(a, b) == max_by(a, b, cmp)
(ensured by the default implementation).min(a, b) == min_by(a, b, cmp)
(ensured by the default implementation).a.clamp(min, max)
, see the method docs (ensured by the default implementation).Violating these requirements is a logic error. The behavior resulting from a logic error is not specified, but users of the trait must ensure that such logic errors do not result in undefined behavior. This means that unsafe
code must not rely on the correctness of these methods.
From the above and the requirements of PartialOrd
, it follows that for all a
, b
and c
:
a < b
, a == b
or a > b
is true; and<
is transitive: a < b
and b < c
implies a < c
. The same must hold for both ==
and >
.Mathematically speaking, the <
operator defines a strict weak order. In cases where ==
conforms to mathematical equality, it also defines a strict total order.
This trait can be used with #[derive]
.
When derive
d on structs, it will produce a lexicographic ordering based on the top-to-bottom declaration order of the structâs members.
When derive
d on enums, variants are ordered primarily by their discriminants. Secondarily, they are ordered by their fields. By default, the discriminant is smallest for variants at the top, and largest for variants at the bottom. Hereâs an example:
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum E {
Top,
Bottom,
}
assert!(E::Top < E::Bottom);
However, manually setting the discriminants can override this default behavior:
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum E {
Top = 2,
Bottom = 1,
}
assert!(E::Bottom < E::Top);
§Lexicographical comparison
Lexicographical comparison is an operation with the following properties:
Ord
?
Ord
requires that the type also be PartialOrd
, PartialEq
, and Eq
.
Because Ord
implies a stronger ordering relationship than PartialOrd
, and both Ord
and PartialOrd
must agree, you must choose how to implement Ord
first. You can choose to derive it, or implement it manually. If you derive it, you should derive all four traits. If you implement it manually, you should manually implement all four traits, based on the implementation of Ord
.
Hereâs an example where you want to define the Character
comparison by health
and experience
only, disregarding the field mana
:
use std::cmp::Ordering;
struct Character {
health: u32,
experience: u32,
mana: f32,
}
impl Ord for Character {
fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering {
self.experience
.cmp(&other.experience)
.then(self.health.cmp(&other.health))
}
}
impl PartialOrd for Character {
fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering> {
Some(self.cmp(other))
}
}
impl PartialEq for Character {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self.health == other.health && self.experience == other.experience
}
}
impl Eq for Character {}
If all you need is to slice::sort
a type by a field value, it can be simpler to use slice::sort_by_key
.

experience: 2,
};
assert!(a < b && b < c && c < a);
assert_eq!((a < c) as u8 + (c < a) as u8, 2);
The documentation of PartialOrd
contains further examples, for example itâs wrong for PartialOrd
and PartialEq
to disagree.
This method returns an Ordering
between self
and other
.
By convention, self.cmp(&other)
returns the ordering matching the expression self <operator> other
if true.

assert_eq!(5.cmp(&10), Ordering::Less);
assert_eq!(10.cmp(&5), Ordering::Greater);
assert_eq!(5.cmp(&5), Ordering::Equal);

Restrict a value to a certain interval.
Returns max
if self
is greater than max
, and min
if self
is less than min
. Otherwise this returns self
.
Panics if min > max
.

This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
