    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);
