select
IContentType[] select(
IContentType[] candidates,
boolean fileName,
boolean content)
- Returns a subset of the given content types sorted by using a custom criterion.
The given array of content types has already been sorted using
the platform rules. If this object follows the same rules, further sorting
is not necessary.
The type of matching being performed (name, contents or name + contents)
might affect the outcome for this method. For instance, for file name-only
matching, the more general type could have higher priority. For content-based
matching, the more specific content type could be preferred instead.

Parameters:
-
candidates - an array containing content types matching some query -
fileName - whether it is a file name-based content type matching -
content - whether its a content-based content type matching
-
Returns:
- an array of content types
