Checks if this date-time is before the specified date-time.
!(p)
This checks to see if this date-time represents a point on the
local time-line before the other date-time.
!(pre)
LocalDate a = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 6, 30, 12, 00);
LocalDate b = LocalDateTime.of(2012, 7, 1, 12, 00);
a.isBefore(b) == true
a.isBefore(a) == false
b.isBefore(a) == false
</pre>
!(p)
This method only considers the position of the two date-times on the local time-line.
It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system.
This is different from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo(ChronoLocalDateTime)},
but is the same approach as {@link ChronoLocalDateTime#timeLineOrder()}.
@param other the other date-time to compare to, not null
@return true if this date-time is before the specified date-time
