* prefer a more balanced ordering that avoids having to listen to clusters of consecutive
|
||||
* episodes from the same feed. This is what "Smart Shuffle" tries to accomplish.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The Smart Shuffle algorithm involves spreading episodes from each feed out over the whole
|
||||
* queue. To do this, we calculate the number of episodes in each feed, then a common multiple
|
||||
* (not the smallest); each episode is then spread out, and we sort the resulting list of
|
||||
* episodes by "spread out factor" and feed name.
|
||||
* Assume the queue looks like this: `ABCDDEEEEEEEEEE`.
|
||||
* This method first starts with a queue of the final size, where each slot is empty (null).
|
||||
* It takes the podcast with most episodes (`E`) and places the episodes spread out in the queue: `EE_E_EE_E_EE_EE`.
|
||||
* The podcast with the second-most number of episodes (`D`) is then
|
||||
* placed spread-out in the *available* slots: `EE_EDEE_EDEE_EE`.
|
||||
* This continues, until we end up with: `EEBEDEECEDEEAEE`.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* For example, given a queue containing three episodes each from three different feeds
|
||||
* (A, B, and C), a simple pubdate sort might result in a queue that looks like the following:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* B1, B2, B3, A1, A2, C1, C2, C3, A3
|
||||
*
|
||||
* (note that feed B episodes were all published before the first feed A episode, so a simple
|
||||
* pubdate sort will often result in significant clustering of episodes from a single feed)
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Using Smart Shuffle, the resulting queue would look like the following:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2, A3, B3, C3
|
||||
*
|
||||
* (note that episodes above <i>aren't strictly ordered in terms of pubdate</i>, but episodes
|
||||
* of each feed <b>do</b> appear in pubdate order)
|
||||
* Note that episodes aren't strictly ordered in terms of pubdate, but episodes of each feed are.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @param queue A (modifiable) list of FeedItem elements to be reordered.
|
||||
* @param ascending {@code true} to use ascending pubdate in the reordering;
|
||||
* {@code false} for descending.
