private static int compareTimestampBytes(ByteBuffer o1, ByteBuffer o2) { int o1Pos = o1.position(); int o2Pos = o2.position();
int d = (o1.get(o1Pos+6) & 0xF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+6) & 0xF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos+7) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+7) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos+4) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+4) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos+5) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+5) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos+1) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+1) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; d = (o1.get(o1Pos+2) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+2) & 0xFF); if (d != 0) return d; return (o1.get(o1Pos+3) & 0xFF) - (o2.get(o2Pos+3) & 0xFF); } Looks like it's only comparing the timestamp bytes.
