public class PEFFileMerger extends Object
Merges several single volume PEF-files into one. Metadata is collected from the first file. The order of the files is determined by the file names. Two sorting algorithms are used:
  1. standard, which sorts character by character in strict alphabetical order
  2. numeral grouping, which sorts groups of digits as numbers at the position in the string where they occur.
