In Java, each wrapper class of a primitive type implements the 
Comparable interface, which "imposes a total ordering" that "is 
referred to as the class's natural ordering." The 
implementation gives each instance a way to compare itself to 
another. The natural order can be used as a foundation for 
domain order, sometimes expressed using a Comparator:
