sorting annotations by offset

[Philip Ogren]

Is there an easy way to sort a list of annotations by their begin and end offsets?  I'm getting back a list of annotations from JCasUtil.selectCovered that are not in order - presumably because they are not being added to the CAS in order.  It seems that uimaFIT might provide a comparator or a sort method that is readily available, but I am having troubles finding it if it exists.  If not, then it might make sense to add a sort method to JCasUtil.  

Thanks,

Philip

I just noticed that my list of annotations actually is sorted!  Sorry....
