public class PathFileComparator extends AbstractFileComparator implements java.io.Serializable
File.getPath()).
This comparator can be used to sort lists or arrays of files
by their path either in a case-sensitive, case-insensitive or
system dependent case sensitive way. A number of singleton instances
are provided for the various case sensitivity options (using IOCase)
and the reverse of those options.
Example of a case-sensitive file path sort using the
PATH_COMPARATOR singleton instance:
List<File> list = ...
((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_COMPARATOR).sort(list);
Example of a reverse case-insensitive file path sort using the
PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE singleton instance:
File[] array = ...
((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE).sort(array);
