/**
 * 
 * Comparator class used in sorting the LopDAG in topological order. Refer to
 * doTopologicalSort_strict_order() in dml/lops/compile/Dag.java
 * 
 * Topological sort guarantees the following:
 * 
 * 1) All lops with level i appear before any lop with level greater than i
 * (source nodes are at level 0)
 * 
 * 2) Within a given level, nodes are ordered by their ID i.e., by the other in
 * which they are created
 * 
 * compare() method is designed to respect the above two requirements.
