/**
 * @class   vtkSortFileNames
 * @brief   Group and sort a set of filenames
 *
 * vtkSortFileNames will take a list of filenames (e.g. from
 * a file load dialog) and sort them into one or more series.  If
 * the input list of filenames contains any directories, these can
 * be removed before sorting using the SkipDirectories flag.  This
 * class should be used where information about the series groupings
 * can be determined by the filenames, but it might not be successful
 * in cases where the information about the series groupings is
 * stored in the files themselves (e.g DICOM).
