Hi all, I am trying to clean up my bits of code that I have put all over the place, and realized that I have a LowercaseComparator and a NumberComparator that might be of interest for Commons collections.
LowercaseComparator (which should be called IgnoreCaseComparator) allows you to compare two strings, say "Eric" and "eric" and get back that they are the same. This is useful when you are sorting strings that are in multiple types of case, and you don't care about the case for sorting purposes. NumberComparator works in a similar fashing. When sorting (as strings) "1", "5", and "10" you get back them in the order: "1","10","5" when you really want them back in the order 1,5,10. So this comparator, if both sides are Strings that are numbers, does that for you. If one of the committers wants to add this code, then I will be happy to make any changes requested, fix the javadocs, and add a unit test for each. Thanks, Eric Pugh
