- Field Detail
  - CASE_INSENSITIVE_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<char[]> CASE_INSENSITIVE_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
    A case-insensitive lexicographic comparator.
  - FAST_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<char[]> FAST_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
    A case-sensitive lexicographic comparator.
  - NORMALIZING_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
public static final Comparator<char[]> NORMALIZING_CHAR_ARRAY_COMPARATOR
```
    A comparator that groups different strings into different buckets (case-insensitive) and strings within these buckets (case-sensitive). The comparator that applies the following rules in the following order:
    
    A null string is greater than a non-null one
    A longer string is greater
    Strings are first compared in case-insensitive mode
    Finally, strings are compared in case-sensitive mode
    This comparator does not provide a lexicographic order, which makes it much faster, but not suitable for general purpose sorting.
