/**
 * Compare the <b>length/size</b> of two files for order (see
 * {@link File#length()} and {@link FileUtils#sizeOfDirectory(File)}).
 * <p>
 * This comparator can be used to sort lists or arrays of files
 * by their length/size.
 * <p>
 * Example of sorting a list of files using the
 * {@link #SIZE_COMPARATOR} singleton instance:
 * <pre>
 *       List<File> list = ...
 *       Collections.sort(list, LengthFileComparator.LENGTH_COMPARATOR);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Example of doing a <i>reverse</i> sort of an array of files using the
 * {@link #SIZE_REVERSE} singleton instance:
 * <pre>
 *       File[] array = ...
 *       Arrays.sort(array, LengthFileComparator.LENGTH_REVERSE);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * <strong>N.B.</strong> Directories are treated as <b>zero size</b> unless
 * <code>sumDirectoryContents</code> is <code>true</code>.
