/**
 * A Comparator which imposes a specific order on a specific set of Objects.
 * Objects are presented to the FixedOrderComparator in a specified order and
 * subsequent calls to {@link #compare(Object, Object) compare} yield that order.
 * For example:
 * <pre>
 * String[] planets = {"Mercury", "Venus", "Earth", "Mars"};
 * FixedOrderComparator distanceFromSun = new FixedOrderComparator(planets);
 * Arrays.sort(planets);                     // Sort to alphabetical order
 * Arrays.sort(planets, distanceFromSun);    // Back to original order
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Once {@code compare} has been called, the FixedOrderComparator is locked
 * and attempts to modify it yield an UnsupportedOperationException.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Instances of FixedOrderComparator are not synchronized.  The class is not
 * thread-safe at construction time, but it is thread-safe to perform
 * multiple comparisons  after all the setup operations are complete.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 4.0.
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <T> the type of objects compared by this comparator
