/**
    Controls the order in which focus moves between components.

    The default algorithm used by this class to work out the order of traversal
    is as follows:
    - if two components both have an explicit focus order specified, then the
      one with the lowest number comes first (see the Component::setExplicitFocusOrder()
      method).
    - any component with an explicit focus order greater than 0 comes before ones
      that don't have an order specified.
    - any unspecified components are traversed in a left-to-right, then top-to-bottom
      order.

    If you need traversal in a more customised way, you can create a subclass
    of KeyboardFocusTraverser that uses your own algorithm, and use
    Component::createFocusTraverser() to create it.
