  - compare
```
public int compare(java.io.File f1,
                   java.io.File f2)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface java.util.Comparator<java.io.File>
  - isCaseSensitive
```
public boolean isCaseSensitive()
```
    Checks if the case is sensitive when comparing.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the comparator is case sensitive.
  - setCaseSensitive
```
public void setCaseSensitive(boolean caseSensitive)
```
    Sets the case sensitive flag. By default, it's true meaning the comparator is case sensitive.
    
    Parameters:
    
    caseSensitive - true or false.
