+ *\r
+ * To convert to use Templates (Java 1.5+):\r
+ * - Change "implements Comparator" to "implements Comparator<String>"\r
+ * - Change "compare(Object o1, Object o2)" to "compare(String s1, String s2)"\r
+ * - Remove the type checking and casting in compare().\r
+ *\r
+ * To use this class:\r
+ * Use the static "sort" method from the java.util.Collections class:\r
+ * Collections.sort(your list, new AlphanumComparator());\r
