Lowercase comparator would appear to be the same as String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER. Any differences? > 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. This would appear to be similar to NumericStringComparator in [util] in the sandbox. Any differences?
