```csharp
public override int CompareTo(StreamSequenceToken other)
```

Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object.

### Parameters

- `other` (`StreamSequenceToken`): An object to compare with this instance.

### Returns

A value that indicates the relative order of the objects being compared. The return value has these meanings: 

| Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Less than zero | This instance precedes `other` in the sort order. |
| Zero | This instance occurs in the same position in the sort order as `other`. |
| Greater than zero | This instance follows `other` in the sort order. |
