025/**
026 * Compare the <b>path</b> of two files for order (see {@link File#getPath()}).
027 * <p>
028 * This comparator can be used to sort lists or arrays of files
029 * by their path either in a case-sensitive, case-insensitive or
030 * system dependent case sensitive way. A number of singleton instances
031 * are provided for the various case sensitivity options (using {@link IOCase})
032 * and the reverse of those options.
033 * <p>
034 * Example of a <i>case-sensitive</i> file path sort using the
035 * {@link #PATH_COMPARATOR} singleton instance:
036 * <pre>
037 *       List&lt;File&gt; list = ...
038 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_COMPARATOR).sort(list);
039 * </pre>
040 * <p>
041 * Example of a <i>reverse case-insensitive</i> file path sort using the
042 * {@link #PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE} singleton instance:
043 * <pre>
044 *       File[] array = ...
045 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE).sort(array);
