## Class AbstractSortedSetDecorator<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.AbstractCollectionDecorator<E>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.set.AbstractSetDecorator<E>
    - - org.apache.commons.collections4.set.AbstractSortedSetDecorator<E>

- Type Parameters:
    `E` - the type of the elements in the sorted set
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractNavigableSetDecorator, UnmodifiableSortedSet

      public abstract class AbstractSortedSetDecorator<E>
      extends AbstractSetDecorator<E>
      implements SortedSet<E>

  Decorates another `SortedSet` to provide additional behaviour.

  Methods are forwarded directly to the decorated set.
