- Method Detail
  - builderFactory
```
F builderFactory()
```
    Returns:
    
    The sort builder factory. Will always return the exact same instance.
  - append

PDF predicateFactory()
```
    Returns:
    
    The predicate factory. Will always return the exact same instance.
  - withExtendedPredicateFactory
```
<PDF2 extends SearchPredicateFactory> SearchSortDslContext<F,PDF2> withExtendedPredicateFactory(SearchPredicateFactoryExtension<PDF2> extension)
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    PDF2 - The type of the new predicate factory.
    
    Parameters:
    
    extension - The extension to apply to the predicate factory.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new context, identical to this except for the predicate factory which is extended.
