private Sort()
This class is supposed to have static methods only.
To hide any constructor, we define an empty private one.
sort
public static void sort(Object[] a,
int from,
int to,
ComparatorInterface c)
Sorts some (or all) elements of an Object array according to a specified comparator.
This method does exactly the same as java.util.Arrays.sort(Object[], int, int, Comparator).
Unfortunately, this method is not available in Java 1.1, so it must be provided here.
As for the implementation of this method, it is taken from Arrays.java as found in
Classpath 0.0.2 (2001-01-06).

sort
public static void sort(Object[] a,
ComparatorInterface comparator)
Sort the complete argument array according to the argument comparator.
Simply calls sort(a, 0, a.length - 1, comparator);
