I wonder if it's not better to declare enum constants of DayOfWeek (and

ordinal() doesn't work as expected.
By example they can be declared in alphabetical order.
The constants need to be in order as Enums are Comparable.
(It was actually a mistake that all enums are Comparable, but not one
that can be fixed now)
don't get it,
English calendar starts with Sunday, French one with Monday,
so the result of Sunday.compareTo(Monday) is dubious,
that why I think that the only valid order is the lexical one.
