public class LexicographicUtils
extends Object

A utility class for converting non-string values into string values with a lexicographic order that preserves the orginal order of the values. Hence, if 6 < 13, this utility class can convert 6 and 13 such that the resulting string values will exhibit a lexicographic order whereby the string representation of 6 will still be less than 13.
