Understand the Application Sort Flexibility (Student class) In week 8, we saw an example of a Student class that provided a static compare_strings_ignore_case() method. We needed to define such a method because our sort algorithm (which was in the StudentArrayUtilities (SAU) class) had to have a basis for comparing two Student objects, the foundation of SAUS sorting algorithm. Since a Student is a compound data type, not a float or a string, there was no pre-defined less-than,
