    026 * Compare the <strong>path</strong> 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 * <p>
    035 * Example of a <em>case-sensitive</em> file path sort using the
    036 * {@link #PATH_COMPARATOR} singleton instance:
    037 * </p>
    038 * <pre>
    039 *       List&lt;File&gt; list = ...
    040 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_COMPARATOR).sort(list);
    041 * </pre>
    042 * <p>
    043 * Example of a <em>reverse case-insensitive</em> file path sort using the
    044 * {@link #PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE} singleton instance:
    045 * </p>
    046 * <pre>
    047 *       File[] array = ...
    048 *       ((AbstractFileComparator) PathFileComparator.PATH_INSENSITIVE_REVERSE).sort(array);
    049 * </pre>

    052 * <em>Serialization is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.</em>
