/**
 * Provides various {@link java.util.Comparator} implementations
 * for {@link java.io.File}s and {@link java.nio.file.Path}.
 * 

Sorting

*

* All the comparators include convenience utility sort(File...) and * sort(List) methods. *

*

* For example, to sort the files in a directory by name: *

*
 * File[] files = dir.listFiles();
 * NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR.sort(files);
 * 
*

* ...alternatively you can do this in one line: *

*
 * File[] files = NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR.sort(dir.listFiles());
 * 
*

Composite Comparator

*

* The CompositeFileComparator can be used * to compare (and sort lists or arrays of files) by combining a number of other comparators. *

*

* For example, to sort an array of files by type (i.e. directory or file) * and then by name: *

*
 * CompositeFileComparator comparator =
 * new CompositeFileComparator(
 * DirectoryFileComparator.DIRECTORY_COMPARATOR,
 * NameFileComparator.NAME_COMPARATOR);
 * File[] files = dir.listFiles();
 * comparator.sort(files);
 * 
*

Singleton Instances (thread-safe)

*

* The {@link java.util.Comparator} implementations have some convenience * singleton(thread-safe) instances ready to use: *
