Method compare This compare routine returns values to form a descending sorted ordering based on the final score of the candidate. We also want to sort alpha ascending within same scores. This was from a email from Lan: In MetaMap, the order of both candidates and mappings is determined by Prolog's sort/2 predicate. Candidates are ordered by sorting them, i.e., by sorting terms of the form ev(NegValue, CUI, MetaTerm, MetaConcept, MetaWords, SemTypes, MatchMap, InvolvesHead, IsOvermatch). Thus, within a given score (NegValue), candidates are sorted by CUI.
