/**
 * Compare the last modified date/time of two files for order
 * (see {@link FileUtils#lastModifiedUnchecked(File)}).
 * 
 * This comparator can be used to sort lists or arrays of files
 * by their last modified date/time.
 * 
 * 
 * Example of sorting a list of files using the
 * {@link #LASTMODIFIED_COMPARATOR} singleton instance:
 * 
 *  *       List<File> list = ...
 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) LastModifiedFileComparator.LASTMODIFIED_COMPARATOR).sort(list);
 * 
 * 
 * Example of doing a reverse sort of an array of files using the
 * {@link #LASTMODIFIED_REVERSE} singleton instance:
 * 
 *  *       File[] array = ...
 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) LastModifiedFileComparator.LASTMODIFIED_REVERSE).sort(array);
 * 
 * Deprecating Serialization
 * 
 * Serialization is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.
 * 
 *
 * @since 1.4
